Seldom do the “chickens come home to roost” as quickly as they have in recent years – an ill-conceived war, attempted on the cheap, has not brought peace to the Middle East. Now America has had to pay the price for ignoring loud warnings about the weakened levees of New Orleans.
恶有恶报这句话很少像近年来这样迅速地得到应验¾一次想占便宜的错误战争未能给中东地区带来和平。现在美国必须为忽视新奥尔良大堤不再稳固的大声警告付出代价。显而易见，没有任何措施能保护新奥尔良彻底免受卡特里娜飓风的影响，但飓风所造成的破坏却肯定能够得以减轻。
