2 excellent Christian relief organizations:
Southern Baptist's NAMB: http://www.namb.net/
Samaritan's Purse: http://www.samaritanspurse.org/
Can you imagine if Bush had sent troops in right away without local permission? The press would be saying things like "Bush invaded another country...ours!". They would have had a field day with that one. Imagine seeing pa photo of some looter getting fired at by a soldier... the left would have gone crazy with that too.
I saw at least two Samaritan's Purse semis headed south on I-85 on Wednesday between Auburn and Montgomery, AL. We can surmise they have the ability to move quickly and, hopefully, effectively.
