Many of the people in NO did just that. Left and didn't come back. This could easily be another Katrina:

How much more of our resources should we or the state of LA continue to pour into a place below sea level?

I hope that never happens to you or anyone else . Personally I would rather spend our resources here for our own disasters than for the global crises that are occurring. But who gets to choose how and where money is spent? For example how big is Iraq and if they have oil money why do they need our financing? Aw never mind that is a whole 'nother thread!
