Our government is incompetent? What ever gave you that idea? LOL. Interesting, I think you've found something that you, I, and Ronjohn can agree on.

Anyhow, I was thinking something along the lines of simple confusion. Even if our government was competent (ha!!) I'm sure there would have been a considerable WTF? factor that day. It simply took a while, too long, for everyone to realize what was happening and how to respond.
