The day after 9/11 Bush was announcing plans for retribution against perpetrators (i.e. the long term plan), where is the long term plan here? (Even if it is just a we'll take a few weeks to assess the situation).
Maybe we just don't see that over here?

1. Different context, completely. Please don't compare apples and wingnuts.
2. Read "Project for a New American Century" and see why the response to a terror attack was already well in hand.
3. Defense planning and disaster planning are two completely different animals. I have done both. The limits on the proactive capacity of any plan is contingent on Mother Nature's caprices, both in earthquakes and hurricanes. Tornados are even more random.
4. The racism crap is pure, pure, politics. Unless you think Mother Nature sends class 4 hurricanes to attack certain demographics in New Orleans. :P
