I think Celine Dion said it best on Larry King this weekend when she said, in reference to the looters, and I paraphrase, "I don't geev a fuck!!!" (Seriously, did anyone see Celine go bonkers? Wow.) Anyway, the looting... I don't give a fuck. I don't care if every goddamned starving grandmother and infant was toting an AK47, there's no excuse for the government to not have gotten in there and provided security and rescue.
Slate's got a good piece on the looting here.
"When I see federal officials bragging that they were well-prepared for Katrina because they've been organizing for terrorist attacks, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. In a terrorist attack, the human dynamics will be far worse. That's why they call it "terrorism." The terrorists won't have to inflict most of the deaths directly. They'll just hit us with a dirty bomb to start the panic. We'll do the rest."

You don't give a fuck, but it's the government's fault? hello? I bet you'd be wetting your pants screaming if the marines did what they were trained to do, which is go in there and kill dead every looter/shooter they saw.
Why do you EXCUSE such behavior, and then say that they government is at fault for LETTING it happen?
Typical government-dependent liberal. You know, we are NOT a socialist or communist state here! People can and do act on their own.
