Based on simple searches on google.com it seems the French guy decided to found New Orleans despite warnings against. While it wasn't below sea level, it was essentially swampland. I think this fact alone should provide sufficient cause to invade France by the end of 2005.
Flood insurance rates should be increased for New Orleans the next go round. Move the poor people out of NO. There are millions of square miles of undeveloped land in MS, AL, LA, and TX. These people don't need to live in NO. There's not much advantage to having the slums in NO vs. south-central MS.
