Opinion: Military "Aid"...

Everyone has an opinion on how the federal government has managed the crisis left in the wake of Katrina, so I will take this opportunity to share mine. The only aide this administration understands is militaristic in nature. Military presence is used as a measure of prevention, to take an offensive, as a display of power, and to quell disorder. Reasonable alternatives seem to be all-to-often overlooked in the days of the new cold war replacement, with it's all encompassing label "The war on Terror".
