You know what's kinda sad? With the greater loss of life and infrastructure in Indonesia and Thailand in last December's tsunami - we never heard about lootings/rapings/murderings like we are from New Orleans. No wonder aid agencys are holding back until the Nat'l Guard restores order.
I honestly believe that when the troops see someone with a weapon, they should get one warning to drop the weapon and if they don't immediately comply, they get brain ventilated. Start that with lots of people watching to spread the word and the bad guys won't dare come out and play. Then the heavy urban search and rescue teams, the red cross, fema, etc. can get in there and start doing their jobs.
