Remember who your friends are

I see a lot of isolationist proponents and ideas here, but maybe Katrina has shown that we're not quite as capable as we think we are at dealing with disasters of this scale. Terrorists were watching, and they're surely thinking about the fun detonating something nuclear would cause.
