It turns out the armed guards of which you spoke knew more about
their New Orleans neighbors than we.

You would actually back turning refugees back at gunpoint?

Yep. Those who refused to turn back would be shot. It's called triage.

When the lifeboats are filled, accepting more imperils those who could be
saved.

We learned in Viet Nam what to do when a 6-year old is sent toward our lines
with a grenade in each hand.

What did we learn? Practice marksmanship using smaller targets. This
training has recently been expanded in Iraq to targets wearing burkas.
