anyone remember the C.I.A. war on drugs in columbia? when we dropped supplies for the people of that country, the warlords basically just stepped in and took it from them. food, water, medicine, and whatever else was taken by the gun toting drug factions. basically i think that the government at this point is not willing to drop aid to N.O. due to the fact that they have not yet been able to secure safety for everyone, and that there is nothing to stop those same people who are shooting at hilo's and robbing and looting from doing the same if supplies are dropped. those with guns, and a looters mentality will basically do whatever they have to to take supplies from those who need it as well. yet are unable to fend off any attackers from just taking it from them. if you dont think our government would deny aid to an unsecure area to prevent further violence then you are wrong.
