Now it is not very often that I stick up for the USA government. But I was told that New Orleans is about the size of Birmingham, and I wonder how well the UK government would cope if Birmingham had been hit by something on the same scale? However, I do agree that it was disgusting seeing the police/army going around aiming guns at everyone. Especially when you compare Boxing Day last year. That struck so many more cities/towns etc, yet peaces deal (however fragile) were formed in countries with civil wars etc.
