They've been training for a long time, many of them, to deal with disaster at home. Someone tell me why they need to be in Iraq. I think this is worse than 9/11, this is our tsunami. I'm waiting to hear what our leaders have thought up, as a way to start dealing with this. It is really time for creative leadership. Marianne
