The Katrina Memo: Sowing the seeds of future conflict...

In Gaza City, Palestinians stand in front of the Foreign Ministry, hit during an Israeli missile attack at about 1 a.m. Monday, the second time it has been hit in five days. The strike collapsed half of the nine-story building and temporarily knocked out power in much of Gaza City.

The wounded are taken away after a Hezbollah missile strike on Monday in the northern Israeli city of Haifa. At least 12 Israeli civilians have been killed and hundreds wounded by the more than 1,300 rockets and missiles fired in the past week by Hezbollah militants.

Photo shows bereaved relatives crying next to the crater left by the Israeli bombing of a water canal that killed three children on Monday in Tyre, southern Lebanon. With the Lebanese death toll exceeding 200 and the Israeli count at 24, the increased efforts to turn to diplomacy showed little prospect of an immediate way out.

Why this Blog?

THE KATRINA MEMO was first launched in the wake of Hurricane Katrina when issues of class, race and poverty re-emerged as major national issues.The original goal was to keep a focus on post-Katrina reconstruction and the issues that surfaced out of what was the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States. While we continue to focus on what's happening in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast we'll also explore broader social and political issues that are of concern to all Americans.
