How about something in between letting them die of thirst and creating a riot...I think that is what the people in charge were trying..
I heard yesterday that at one point they did drop water at the Convention Center and a 2 year old little girl was trampled to death by the people rushing to get it.
Did you see any of the footage from the Tsunami relief? I remember seeing our troops in helicopters trying to land and bring food, but the people would run out and overrun the helicopters and create very dangerous conditions for them and the troops...
THEN, they tried just hovering low enough to drop the water without it breaking, but not landing, and people were grabbing onto the parts of the helicopter they could reach and just hanging there...
NONE of this is easy...but complaining about it IS easy.

A few truths, for those who have ears and eyes and care to know the truth:
1.) The hurricane that hit New Orleans and Mississippi and Alabama was an astonishing tragedy. The suffering and loss of life and peace of mind of the residents of those areas is acutely horrifying.
2.) George Bush did not cause the hurricane. Hurricanes have been happening for eons. George Bush did not create them or unleash this one.
