For god's sake will someone please explain to the ignorant fools
calling into CNN saying that if Guiliani had been mayor the people would have had food and would have been able to get out that Guiliani had very little to do with RESCUING people in the aftermath of 9/11. They should be asking why it was Guilani's decision to house in the WTC the headquarters and communication center of the city's first responder network. My god people. As horrific as 9/11 was, survivors had homes and family to return to. It was the WTC that was attacked on 9/11 not 100% of the city's housing!!!

My head is exploding!

1. and they seem to forget that, as awful as the destruction was, it was
still limited to a fairly small area. but then, logic and awareness and accuracy are not exactly their strong points, are they?

on the government. Is he that out of touch with reality? This was the worst natural disaster in the nation's history. He talked about people 'banning together and pooling resources'. I don't know anbout you, but my neighbor doesn't have C-rations and a pool of Apache helicopters hanging around.

5. The irony of that is that's just what so many of those
"looters" were doing with the food and water and clothing they got out of the stores - sharing them.

Good way to look at it.

8. Like after 9/11 we didn't rely on government. We went to fucking war
in two countries after 9/11. Has that for relying on government. I donn't think Rudi went after Osama on his own...or did I miss something?

10. Wasn't Guiliani in London Right After That Terrorist Attack to...
issue a public statement like he did in NYC on 9-11?

Very opportunistic.

I would react with horror if Guiliani was anywhere near my city.
