I hate to see the bad PR for the USA. On the other hand, I hope Louisiana's tourist industry wakes up and puts extreme pressure on the authorities to crack down on crime. New Orleans has been a crime problem for years.

What do you mean by "our" Women? White? I object to this.

"Our" likely means Aussie since it is from one of their papers.

I don't think Louisiana has a tourist industry any more, or will have one for a long time, after this disaster.

"In that place, 98 percent of the people were bad"

and 100% of those are perpetually on the government teat.

Let me tell you something. I am directly involved in this effort. We have coordinated the movement of the 82nd Airborne into Louis Armstrong Airport, and the Marines into Stennis and Gulfport. I ain't a spectator in this.

I believe that he was using that to refer to the tourist women. Don't get upset.

Mr Hopes, 32, said: "That was the worst place in the universe. Ninety-eight per cent of the people around the world are good. In that place, 98 per cent of the people were bad.

This is what mollycoddling criminals for 50 years does for you.

Bad PR? That is what concerns you? I have not the words.

President Bush is being slowly crucified and is to blame for the actions of these animals that preyed upon the weak, the foreign, the white,the innocent blacks, the asians and others?

You view this horrific event through the prism of the tourist industry and "crime?"

Screw the PR and ponder this story.

Women in the US should be proficient in the use of small arms and packing at all times.

Too bad for the Aussies that they are not to be trusted with such devices.

Even worse for their tourists stuck in the mud here.

Irrespective of what it was "really like" in the Dome, this particular reporter seems quite intent on writing "Heart of Darkness" into the experience.

If white women were being targeted for rape by black thugs I would say the onus of racism is not on the Aussies but on the black would-be rapists - or is that racist to admit?

There was an article in a British paper from a woman that said blacks protected her in the dome.

I think we'll be okay after the race-baiting DemocRATS and their toadies in the "media" brand these Aussies as "racists."

I just posted the article. I didn't write it.

What's your take on things?
