We made one remark about the uselessness of talk in this situation. The news bears that out. If you feel so offended that the Pres. might possibly be criticized (and it is stretching things to call it criticism of him in particular) then that's your problem. The criticism is simply that talk won't cut it here and the reality of the situation bears that out. The very simple point is that someone, whoever it is that has the authority, (doesn't someone?) needs to give a 'shoot to kill' order. That is all there is to it.
Disengage your emotions for a minute and you might see that.
It has nothing to do with this. I'm tired of people saying Bush needs to do more when he can't. It's exhaustion from trying to present facts to those who don't want to hear them.

Neither the mayor nor the govenor has had any sense or cahones up to this point. What I'd LIKE is to send a silent, elite squad in there to hunt the streets and clean it up.
