Quote:"Katrina exposed serious problems in our response capability at all levels of government," Bush said at the White House.

"To the extent that the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility," he said. "I want to know what went right and what went wrong."

Taking responsibility for something and accepting blame are two different things. For example, a prisoner in jail kills another prisoner. Who is to blame? The killer. Who is responsible for letting it happen? The warden and his staff.

Quote:The report by the Independent Inquiry Committee, headed by Volcker, a former U.S. Federal Reserve chairman, does not accuse Annan personally of wrongdoing but found that the "cumulative management performance" of the secretary-general fell short of the standard that the United Nations organization should strive to maintain."

"The report... does not accuse Annan personally..." Whether we think he's guilty or not the investigation hasn't pointed a finger at him (yet?). He is responsible for what happens on his watch, even if he's not directly to blame.

The United States has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes are mistaken for people of importance. Robert A. Heinlein
