"Without food, water, or medical supplies, the U.S. government has left the poor of New Orleans to die. Looting has taken place as an attempt at survival. Bush's anouncement of zero tolerance and military measures against the people who are dying because of his lack of response is criminal."

The people who shot at military evactuation helicopters, are looting electrontics, and stealing supply trucks intended for hospitals?

Sorry, Steven, but this makes no sense - the Government can't send in aid and help the populace if there isn't safety and order.
