New Orleans: What an embarassment

So during my morning ritual of combing the news sites, I come upon cnn.com and the headline "Battle for New Orleans". Christ. There's snipers taking pot shots at people leaving hospitals, shots being fired on helicopters, cars being blown up. Add to that the looting taking place.

New Orleans looks like a freaking nuclear bomb was dropped on it, and these savages are trying to wreak more havoc.

No wonder the global opinion about Americans continues to be negative. New Orleans gets leveled and the US media focuses on all the gunplay and anarchy. I'm embarassed to be American right now. Hopefully the government will make good on their promises and shoot some of these SOBs.
