My Dad had several relatives and friends involved in the Race Riots in Tulsa.

This perspective was to show the hot heads, that this nation has used martial law a lot to quell situations. When the situation became normal, the martial law was over.

I remember Ike ordering the paratroopers to go to Little Rock, Ark..

You and I are in total agreement about General Franks. He is a good man and is trying project what could/might happen if a WMD attack happened in America. I would like read his actual remarks to see if they were taken out of context with a few key words changed.
