Another question that I have. I have not read all the threads, my question might be answered but here goes.
I thought that we were air dropping stuff (water/food) within 24 hours to the tsunami areas.
Why have we not been doing this since Tuesday? Or have we?

Air drops wouldn't do much with armed thugs around. They'd just confiscate the goods.

I heard a woman at the Convention Center say that some of the thugs that had looted groceries, etc. were selling water to the people for $5 a bottle.

Our federal gov't officials via FEMA were staging to assist our brothers and sisters in the hurricane affected areas before the storm made landfall. They began immediate movement into the affected areas as soon as the weather cleared. Cable news has nothing to gain by telling us that info.

It seems to me that if we had dropped off water and food in the first place, the "thugs" Dawn53 mentioned wouldn't have had the opportunity to sell water for five dollars a bottle and make it 'unsafe' to drop water there now. I would think Indonesia was 'unsafe' considering that there were openly active terrorists living there.
