-Chicago is a mess, ---everyone agrees
-Chicago has been trying to solve this murder problem for years without success, ---everyone agrees
-police are controlled in Chicago like they are in other urban areas by race politics, sad but true ---everyone agrees

-something has to be done, troops??? ---no one agrees

-so what is to be done? ---perhaps the prez can find a solution?

--does anyone remember these words from the campaign?

Obama said:
“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

-Will this be another example of Rahm's dictum to never waste a crisis?
