i'm simply saying there are ways for the federal government to get involvded in domestic tragedies without having unilateral executive dictatorial control. i understand your position, as i believe you hail from a perspective somewhere near libertarianism. i disagree with the notion that it is all one way or the other.
i agree in the main with you roach; anything else i say about this i think will just be conjecture in terms of probability for them to pull something like that off.

I don't want to adress the Katrina issue either. The general question is, what should the Federal government be responsible for and what should the Federal government be held accountable for? When we answer that question then we can understand if the Directive is reasonable.
I do come from a libertarian point of view on this issue, and generally feel more power should be concentrated at the state and local levels.
