France will help!
A lot of people make jokes about France... but it's starting to look like they'll do more about New Orleans than our own government. From Reuters:
French Transport Minister Dominique Perben, leading the French delegation to a city that was founded by France in 1718, said, "This catastrophe has deeply upset the French people and the French government."
France, Perben said through a translator, "wants to be a long-term partner for Louisiana and New Orleans."
