I'm not saying that anybody will be able to do anything about it, but I sadly await the stories of people getting turned into Swiss cheese by Guardsmen while breaking into a food store to feed their families. I know the gangsters will wind up having done the bulk of the killing of innocents, but I feel really bad for the Guardsmen who have to sort out this terrible situation. I'm not blaming the troops because it is those shitbags who are shooting at innocent refugees who made N'awlins into a warzone in the first place.

God, this is a bad situation. I really hope the relief starts to pick up. I'm really glad the president decided that the relief efforts thus far have been inadequate.
