You are both so right. What ever is going to be done is going to have to be done between the local people and the local gov. The news media needs to be keep out of it and not be told anything. Most of them do more harm on something like this than they do good. Told my dad once about some of the fighting in Europe and the middle east that when they had their briefings I'd tell the media this is a hot area and we don't think you need to be there right now. Then If they went just make sure they didn't come back. So much for a slanted story.
