As someone who lives in Georgia I think that Lake Lanier is slowly becoming Pond Lanier. The battle over water in the three Southern States is getting rather heated. I surely hope a solution can be reached, but I also hope we receive some much needed rain very soon. Now on to the broadcast. The report from Mr.Colt about the border tensions with Turkey and Iraq seems to be getting worse. I hope the two governments can work something out and not allow this to escalate. The US military is too consumed with the conflict in the rest of the region and I really don't think we have any soldiers left to aid this problem. Seeing as this is the only semi-peaceful part of the region I hope this can be resolved. Now with regards to Mr.Mott's report on the water crisis in the South. This drought is effecting so many people and busineses I do hope we receive alot of rain soon. When Mr.Mott stated that after three months special equipment may be needed to get water it hits hard. These three Governors are fighting for their home states for the necessary water, but it is mother nature that we really need to offer the best relief. The "Making a Difference" segment about the soldier supplying shoes,clothes,candy,soccer balls etc. to the children of Sadr City is such a nice thing to do for these children. He knew people who could help and between them and him they made a difference in these children's lives. It is sad he was shot, but I am glad he recovered and the work is continuing. Finally, it is sad to hear about the passing of Jim Cummins. I remember him reporting for NBC. He was much too young to leave us. Thank you for the broadcast Mr.Holt. Peace to all!   http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/27/434913.aspx#453540Wed, 07 Nov 2007 17:36:33 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:453540Jennifer Wilkes, Frazeysburg, OHDrought and environment havoc all over world and by the look of the discussion boards all anyone can think about is how Brian did on SNL - 560+ comments was it?  Only 5 comments about the alternative energy story on windpower.  So, where's our priorities America?  Maybe the $100 barrel for oil will put a kick in the pants for us to finally get some new technology out there - it should be a challenge that is exciting and as Hillary says could even be lucrative!  Please show us more stories about climate change and keep us updated on what is happening and what can be done.  The stories are sometimes scary but perhaps that is what we need a little more concern for real issues not entertainment.
