Jersey, where would you send them? FOr how long?
We dont know when they are planning this. What if we evacuate them today and they dont plan on doing this until October before elections? Then we have millions of misplaced people who knows where, panic and sanitation concerns in tent camps for months. Wall Street halts, businesses fail, the country crumbles economically.
I really don't know, Bethshaya. I'm sure our people have pondered this at length. They set up the FEMA camps in 2002- knowing way back then that AQ was planning a disastrous hit.
I guess we could not evacuate NYV- BUT- if we could get a good fix on the targets- people could at least be removed from those areas. And there are a number of old Civil Defense shelters throughout the city. Even the subways might provide some form of shelter. I just can't stand the thought of all those people getting hurt/killed/vaporized. Think of the tiny babies? The little children in school? The elderly, the lovers--there simply must be a way to provide at least a modicum of protection...
Bump!
