Is why Chicago is worse off than any other city that has had the dubious title -- I seem to recall that Detroit was once considered the murder capital and I know DC had that distinction for a couple of years. You may recall that prior at one point NYC was the murder capital.

Who would you blame from other cities with a "murder crisis"? I don't recall anyone suggesting that the President at those times was somehow responsible for the situation -- usually the blame was laid at the feet of the mayor and the Chief of Police.
So can someone tell me why this is different?

And realistically, I really think the Chicago officials are just trying to come up with a solution for a problem they can't seem to solve. As I understand it, the Chicago officials believe that there is a precident for using national guard -- they were used for order during the 68 riots.
