Which one of us thinks this would go into Day FIVE like this, massive chaos, attacks on citizens, etc. if the LOOTERS were ARAB TERRORISTS instead with chems or bios, unleashing it, and killing as they went along. We would have had special forces in there putting this down 48 hours ago.
But we CANNOT as a nation, bring us to go to the maximum, because the looters are Americans, not al-Qaeda, so we will probably have to wait another 2-3 days for EFFECTIVE MARTIAL LAW and critical special forces. (Political correctness?) It is a shame, because the devastation and loss of life is the same were they al-Qaeda, or normal indigenous street toughs with American citizenship.
We have to think of New Orleans situation as if IT WERE A FOREIGN ATTACK to get the total resources of the US military at work, IMHO.
You've summed it up. And anything that happens like this again, I think we will do exactly as you have said.
Yep, the *problems* would not now be so organized & (better) armed.
Anyone shooting @ any emergency workers should be shot.
