At the very least the people shooting at the copters MUST be shot on sight.
Of course, if they are firing at the helicopters, the people should fire back to protect themselves. But, of course, the victims in the area are at risk of getting shot.
These are people in a city who have gone through hell. There are drug dealers, scum, criminals, no-morals people as well as good people. And, we have to find a way to protect the victims and the caregivers. Don't know the answers, just get sick and tired of all the comments about shooting and killing as the answer to everything every time there is a problem in Iraq, Afghanistan, and now here.
Some people must really be panting waiting for the gunshow to start. I thank God those people are not the ones making decisions for Americans, making decisions, plotting efforts.
They need to take a look at President Bush. Do you ever see him rushing in kill as an answer? No, much thought, prayer, and wisdom go into any action. Which is exactly why I will always trust this great man as our leader. He is not a vengeful hothead, but a strong, kind, reasoned leader getting all information before determining a strong course of action.
