NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- As police and National Guard troops struggled to restore order Thursday in New Orleans, emergency teams suspended boat rescue operations because conditions in the flooded city were too dangerous, rescuers said.

The instructions to stand down came during a meeting with officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

CNN's Rick Sanchez reported that authorities were concerned for the rescuers' safety because some people have become violent toward the rescuers.
And I thought American was the land of the free.

This looks so bad to the rest of the world. The US could be attacked and taken over very easily right now, from realizing how little military / help there is for the people in New Orleans and other places.

It is predicted that the US will become or be considered a 3rd world country at some point; it's the government's fault.. so smart people of the USA, go out and vote and do something, and take care of your people, and try to help the rest of the world; not just yourselves, as no one will really care for you then.
