Today's New York Times reports that:
A convoy of dozens of National Guard trucks bearing food, water and weapons arrived here [New Orleans] today to begin helping thousands of homeless people…I'm glad the Guard is on the case, because, and I'm speaking from experience here, it can be damn hard to loot stuff when you don't have weapons.
The same article goes on to say that the US will take financial aid from Sri Lanka, which is a bit like asking your average American to chip in to renovate Bill Gates's house.
