Curieux autant qu’\u00e9trange L’op\u00e9ration de sauvetage de La Nouvelle Orl\u00e9ans, entam\u00e9e avec la lenteur qu’on sait, transforme la ville sinistr\u00e9e en une zone de guerre o\u00f9 la compassion et l’efficacit\u00e9 restent assez rares. Le Monde<\/a>, rapportant le 6 septembre les \u00e9tonnements d’une \u00e9quipe de la BBC, observe : \u00ab Le spectacle est particuli\u00e8rement incongru dans le quartier fran\u00e7ais de La Nouvelle-Orl\u00e9ans, reconnaissable \u00e0 ses \u00e9l\u00e9gants balcons en fer forg\u00e9. Ces soldats sont cens\u00e9s faire fuir les pillards, mais le quartier fran\u00e7ais a \u00e9t\u00e9 totalement calme depuis notre arriv\u00e9e ici, poursuit le journaliste <\/em>[de la BBC]. Il y a d\u00e9sormais 60.000 soldats et gardes nationaux d\u00e9ploy\u00e9s \u00e0 La Nouvelle-Orl\u00e9ans, mais nous n’avons vu jusqu’ici qu’un seul m\u00e9decin, affirme-t-il encore.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLe billet du Monde<\/em> qui rapporte ces \u00e9tonnements est titr\u00e9 : \u00ab Le tiers-monde en Louisiane<\/em> \u00bb. Effectivement, les forces arm\u00e9es am\u00e9ricaines interviennent comme si elles occupaient une terre \u00e9trang\u00e8re, hostile et \u00e9videmment une terre du Tiers-monde. Ce n’est pas la moindre des surprises d’un pays o\u00f9 le syst\u00e8me agit de plus en plus avec une \u00e9norme brutalit\u00e9 potentielle, comme s’il s’y trouvait dans un environnement insurrectionnel.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tA c\u00f4t\u00e9 de cela, on y trouve l’habituelle gabegie, la lenteur, les erreurs auxquelles la bureaucratie US nous a d\u00e9sormais accoutum\u00e9s. M\u00eame le Financial Times<\/a>, pourtant bien dispos\u00e9 \u00e0 l’\u00e9gard du pouvoir US, observe que \u00ab [the m]ilitary occupation turns New Orleans into war zone<\/em> \u00bb et note que, \u00ab despite the enormous influx from across the US of National Guards, reservists, units of the federal army and marines, the coastguard, airmen, firefighters from Los Angeles and even Texas game wardens in boats, the logistics of evacuating the remaining residents from the flooded suburbs, and collecting possibly thousands of bodies, present enormous challenges. They also expose flaws in management structure and communications.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb One small cog in the biggest US relief operation is Jessie Burrell, driver of a truck carrying 51,840 bottles of water. Dispatched from Orange Springs in Florida on Saturday, he could be seen late on Monday in the upper 9th ward parked by the roadside looking at a bridge he could not cross.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb His typed instructions, from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema), were to deliver his cargo to an address in Chalmette, an eastern suburb. But, as many people in New Orleans could have told him, and as Fema should have known, Chalmette is deep underwater. In front of him lay the Inner Harbour Navigation Canal that connects the Mississippi, running along the south of the city with Lake Pontchartrain to the north. Breaches in that canal flooded most of St Bernard parish, which includes Chalmette, to the east.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
