I was listening to talk radio last week - I think it may have been Al Rantel in Los Angeles - and a guest said it was ridiculous to rebuild New Orleans, because the city's below the waterline, and will never be safe from destruction by flooding.
Well, tell that to the Dutch. Most of the people in the Netherlands live below sea level, and their storm system has kept them safe since the 1950's. Newsweek asks, "why not hire the Dutch" to rebuild the New Orleans levees?

I wish the Dutch would be hired to fix California's levees before we see the entire Sacramento delta underwater. The state government has sat there and watched as the levee infrastructure in CA has crumbled.
all it's gonna take is a wet winter and a strong earthquake to get a disaster.
