The oil refinery part of the equation will be rebuilt, you can bet on that. It won't cost but a fraction of the cost of rebuilding the city and it has a big payday, so it will get done.

The real question is do they rebuild all the roads, electrical, housing, govt buildings, grocery stores and on and on. If they do rebuild, how can they justify a complete rebuild to only restore something that could be leveled again because its 10ft below sea level?

Is Bush still on vacation? You can sure tell we are not in the midst of a close election.
