Alright, IB, Dozekar and Blackwater, knock it off

I love how loke presents the alternatives.

Would you like a private firm of mercenaries known for their trigger fingers in Iraq or would you like to see soldiers in the streets?

How about a civilian response team, trained for disasters like this, is that like so far-fetched and socialist for your mind?

I'm confused by your post. I totally agree that civilian response teams, trained for disasters like that, were definitely what was needed down there. That wasn't what happened though. I get the sense you're claiming I'm some sort of right wing radical who thinks humanitarian efforts in disaster zones are in some way "socialist" - which is just way off base.. and I think you're probably the only person who got that from my posts.

I was simply stating a private security firm being used to assist in a nation disaster is much less astounding than the fact that the Marines were deployed inside the United States.
