PARALYZED BY INACTION AMID APOCALYPSE

PARALYZED BY INACTION AMID APOCALYPSE

THE Apocalypse has descended firmly upon New Orleans — reports of children being raped openly in the Superdome, gun-wielding carjackers stealing a truck full of medical supplies, and stores getting stripped of every bottle of liquor and deadly weapon thieves can lay their hands on.

And yet, the question fairly shrieks across the Mississippi Delta:

Where are the authorities?

Why is every street corner and corner store in the Big Easy not under the watchful eye of a gun-wielding cop, a uniformed soldier — hell, I'll take the Orkin man.

It is frightening beyond words that today, in 2005, on the streets of America, lawlessness reigns. Chaos breeds. Anarchy wins.

It must be stopped.

The news has been excruciatingly painful and unrelenting, as a desperate situation slips to the brink of utter shame.

On the streets, people are dying. They're dying of disease. They're drowning in the street. They're succumbing to medical neglect. And, most gruesome of all — some are taking advantage of chaos by killing and maiming their brethren.

It has been four days since Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf coast. It's three full days since the levees built to protect New Orleans from the waters of Lake Pontchartrain gave way.

And yet yesterday, there was scarce sign of order on the street, and few to enforce it.

Oh, yeah, there has been a handful of National Guardsmen. Like the one who was observed pushing a man to the ground outside the Superdome after he ignored his order not to return into the fetid building without first clearing a security checkpoint — which was accessible only through a street flooded with deep water.

Promises to send in tens of thousands of guardsmen have been alarmingly slow to materialize. And comes a report from Canadian TV that an elite unit, poised to fly in fresh water and medical supplies, has as yet been refused permission to help by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

At the same time, local authorities have taken to commandeering the few working vehicles that refugees hoped to ride out of town. Don't they have vehicles of their own?

This great nation is capable of making order halfway around the globe. We have the resources to launch humanitarian missions in remote regions of the world.

But now, our own back yard is flooded.

It's time to take action. Now.


hummmmmm??? wait wait...let me read that again...
