Betzee,

I don't know about other places, but the USA is a society that values reaction to a crisis to the point where we allow problems to fester into crises just to create the opportunities for heroes to rise up and save us. Having the foresight to deal with problems…

smithinjapan,

You are calling sarge's baby "ugly." Bush's inviting of McCain and Obama to DC only attempts to inject more politics and grandstanding into the crisis.
