I think we tend to play the blame game because there is an underlying assumption that we can control any and every situation. Admitting that we cannot control every situation is tantamont to saying there are forces beyond our control.

Also, I believe the media and liberals in general will use any means and methods to cast blame at President Bush. I believe it is all done in anticipation of the next election and will be used to exert additonal pressure to remove our troops from Iraq and Afganistan.

Lastly, we have to blame everyone but the people who are truly at fault: the private citizens who put themselves in harms way for not evacuating when they were told of the impending dangers.

Finally, we as a nation tend to forget what Forrest said, "Sometimes shit happens".
