Looting

Whenever I see the Devastation on New Orleans and surrounding states caused by Hurricane Katrina and subsequently the population left to fend for themselves for days after the eye of the storm has passed and when some of the population of New Orleans started to loot from the stores and George Bush issued a stern warning that looters will be shot by law enforcement, I looked backed in irony at his defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld giving the following comment:

"Freedom's untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things,"

Rumsfeld commented on the looting that was rampant around Baghdad when Iraq was invaded in 2003. So it is alright for others to loot and rampage but it cannot be done on US soil, the true color of their democracy is exposed. If US can neglect it's own citizens, one wonder's about the situation in Iraqi under their occupation.
