So what's the situation like on the ground in NO today?
what's the final death toll? Does anyone even know??

France is currently organising concerts to help New Orleans come back to life. Help was offered at the time of the flood, and was treated with contempt.

Has anyone offered to help France (apart from Gaddafi) instead of wallowing in the satisfaction of finding their favorite enemy bogged down in these troubles?
