This whole rescue/food effort seems like it is going in slow motion.

People were going without food in the convention center and stadium and other places. Why don't they not just airlift food in by helipcopter and drop it out to the crowds. What is so damn difficult??

Don't even get me started on the looters. The minute it started they should have sent in paratroopers (ala 82 airborne type outfit) and stopped the problem right in it's tracks.

Ten's of billions of dollars were spent on Homeland Security to counter the exact problems NO is facing(albeit after a terrorist attack) and everyone in the gov't seems like they are running around without a clue. God forbid if the terrorist attack 4-5 major US cities at one time.
