"excoachken,
Since you hate the country so much, is anyone stopping you from leaving?? Perhaps next time you visit Europe you can stay there, you will be much happier. "

I hate this country that much and I AM being prevented from leaving. Your comments are right on target excoachken. The level of stupidity in america is astonishing.

In fact, the Dutch did come to our rescue in New Orleans. Unfortunately, although they offered to do so immediately, they were only allowed to after our Army Corps of Engineers failed to plug the dam after 9 days.

The country is much smaller than South Carolina, by the way. Only slightly smaller than twice New Jersey.

People writing here should stop giving the Dutch advice. Having visited the country 15 times, I can tell you that the only people smoking dope there are tourists stupid enough to spend money exploiting the Libertarian philosophy of a country much more advanced than ours (where impotent cavemen feel they need to have a gun to prove their manhood and we actually elected a moron as President twice in a row). Perhaps, if our ego maniacal leaders would have asked for advice from this country the size of South Carolina and totally below sea level, the tragedy of New Orleans would not have happened. But, as you can see by reading the garbage written by many here, some Americans still have too much hubris and too little humble.

I am somewhat surprised that many comments about this horrifying story are based on assumptions and unrelated subjects.

Welcome to the internet Koen78.
But I have to disagree regarding self defense. Self defense isn't just carrying a weapon. Self defense is always being aware of your surroundings in addition to being prepared for the worse.
In this case being aware could have helped some of the victims and in many other cases where violent criminals attack innocent people, when someone present has the ability to protect themselves and others many lives have been saved.

The comments here are particularly moronic for a page that actually requires reading. I mean, "This is what happens when you let people smoke weed"? Go back to watching cat videos on YouTube. No stoner is going to deliberately execute an act of, well, anything, but especially not an act of violence. They only things they plow through are bags of Doritos.

I am sometimes embarrassed to be American, when someone does something silly that is uniquely American. I think that's human, too. I think all people feel some internalized shame about their country of origin.

Posting a comment about how if the Dutch were allowed to carry weapons this never would have happened is just stupid and insensitive. On July 17, 2003 a man plowed into a crowded farmer's market in Santa Monica, killing 9 people. That's in America, for those of you who are puzzling right now. Disregarding, for a moment, the element of surprise and the fact that this all happened in a matter of seconds, gun versus moving automobile in a crowd of people would most certainly have resulted in more casualties. Anyway, as I said before, the guy is dead. A gun wouldn't have made him more dead. Whomever said that has been watching too many Die Hard movies.
