A sense of helplessness in the gulf

Everyone feels the anger and outrage at BP for this disaster. Many are even getting angry at the government for not stepping in and doing, well no one is sure what!. But as I watch the footage of the leak and listen to all the attempts to plug the well, what I feel is a real sense of helplessness. Not for just myself, but for the overall situation. What I’m not hearing are things that BP is not doing. There are no experts coming on the talk shows discussing what BP should do to stop the leak. No one seems to have a better idea. And that makes me feel helpless. The idea that they are doing everything that could be done and nothing is working. Most everyone is looking to the relief wells to stop this disaster. But what if the relief well don’t work. No one is guaranteeing they will.
