I know what you mean, well, in that way in which I really don't because I'm not american at all, but, out of all the american cities new orleans was one of the most recognisable to me, and I always wanted to go there

You're quite right rebus, to be honest it would take staggeringly expensive measures to keep NO above water with the present ecological policy as exists in reality over there.
They can keep the highest ground, and indeed some of the oldest parts of the city afloat, but the more relentless the development, and the more frugal the preparations and the more reckless the ignorance and defiance of the natural environment, the less likely it is that this can be prevented from happening again.
It's even likely that there will be more hurricanes of his magniude in the area sooner than might otherwise have been expected.
But I don't think it's an emotional option, in a sense, for americans not to rebuild it. I can understand why. A whole major historical city, just abandoned. It goes against something huge.
