If this turns out to wipe out Old NO, it would be similar in devastation to one of those Arab nukes. Seems like nobody is talking about this storm bringing the country to its knees. Old NO will be rebuilt on higher ground and we can do it without working up a sweat. Same, I think, for an Arab nuke.

Chris Matthews calling it a catastrophe of biblical proportions.

Yeah, but with a hurricane there is the chance to evacuate. A nuke (Arab or otherwise) would snuff out 1,000,000+ people in milliseconds.

I'm hoping the apts mhking's niece is in doesn't come down...that's what this discussion was all about...

Arabs no their terrorist...I think you're talking about a dirty bomb...I hear we've not been hit again because it unites America...that's the real reason we've not been hit. If the terrorist sit back and leave us alone, we stay divided ... the liberal loons vs sane American Patriots...
