It did not take a passive approach..........the Mayor and the Chief of Police were fighting. The Chief pulled his men at the last minute. Pulling the men amounted to taking a passive approach. Your assessment ignores how bad conditions were in the city before the rioting even began. And the rioting continued for nearly two weeks AFTER the National Guard were brought in to quell it. No it doesn't ignore the fact that conditions were bad before the riots or that the riots where not put down quickly. Those factors don't change the point at all. A passive initial response allowed the situation to grow worse and last longer. We are not winning the war in Iraq. ted
