Katrina

I'm sure this is a touchy subject, and I'm not wanting to in any way demean the terrible situation of anybody affected, but frankly, it's no wonder Iraq is in the situation it is when you look at what's currently happening in the US in New Orleans. Setting aside the question of just why the area has become (reportedly) lawless so quickly - not a good reflection on "modern" society if it regresses that quickly - if the US government can't control one of their own cities perhaps they shouldn't be trying to stamp their authority on other countries...
