The failure in Louisiana was largely due to ineffective and corrupt local leadership. The Governor and Mayor, who are democrats, have performed shamefully but will likely suffer no consequences.
President Bush shares little blame for the events in New Orleans, but should rightfully be impeached for his bizarre war in Iraq. He, too, is unlikely to suffer any consequences.

So what dikes failed in Texas? I think the situations are very different and the local gov of New Orleans was flooded out once the dikes failed. The slow response time of the Federal gov (5 days) is the big crime in New Orleans. The Rep hacks in FEMA appointed by Bush had no idea how to respond to the crisis.
