Katrina illustrated how a catastrophy can result in civil chaos. The irony is that we complained that the federal government failed to provide an adequate response to what should of been handled by state and local government with aid from the Federal government. Should we have used the Federal government (military) to bring the situation after Katrina under control? I say no. However, if you want the Federal government to take the lead role, unchecked, then you have to give the Federal government the power. I think the potential for abuse is a problem.
