Irony of Ironies

Is it just me or is it ironic that the Mayor of New Orleans and others are pushing so hard to get residents to return to the city while the Bush administration is resistant because of concerns about disease and environmental hazards? Meanwhile, in the aftermath of 9/11 wasn't the claim that Bush had tried to obscure the environmental hazards surrounding Ground Zero in order to rush people back into the neighborhood?

I know, I'm not supposed to think like that.
