There is a movie called "The Siege" made in 1998 that may be one more example of "life imitates art" if Bush has his way.
Even though Bush was a state governor he does not have a lot of faith in state and local police to take care of extraordinary problems which may come up.
It seems Bush is on a "use the military for everything mode" Today he suggested using the military to contain any epidemic of avian flu. Use the military
Bush has also recently mentioned that he wants to use the military for any hurricane disasters Use the military for hurricanes
This may sound OK to many but using the military to deal with the issues a disaster brings to bear, instead of using trained local and state authorities could easily lead to a major abuses of civil liberties. Wouldn't it be like using a sledge hammer instead of scalpel on a patient?
