The Battle Over New Orleans

There are so many words that can describe what's happening right now in New Orleans; unbleiveable, insane, chaotic; etc. It really is like a movie. It's hard to comprehend what's happening in the city. If I could, I would put on my Army uniform and head into Louisiana and help out any way I could. But I know I'd just be getting in the way. The sooner they can get people out and take care of the crooks who are trying to take over, the sooner they can try to rebuild that city. It's just so heart-breaking that these people, who have also lost much of what they have, go out and try to stop the rescue efforts and attack the police and military. I know this may sound harsh for saying this, but if I were in charge, I would activate the military and send companies of troops sweeping through the city rescuing the citizens and destroying anoyone who thinks they can shoot at desperate people who need to get to safety. For anyone who served in the Mid East, they know how it feels; these people have nothing and the troops and police are trying to help. Their own townsfolk are getting in the way. I never thought I'd see what I saw in Iraq happening in the U.S. It's sad.
