Yes...it's a fricking overreaction!
Do you know that every single deepwater platform has undergone a government directed safety review since DWH went down?
Are you aware that in the history of "deepwater" drilling, this is the first time this has happened?
Are you aware that with the exception of this incident and the Mexican platform incident in 1979, every other major spill in the last 40 years has been either by conscious human action (Iraq - 1991) or tanker accident?
Should we have nuked Iraq to make sure they couldn't do it again?
Should we stop all tankers?
Applying your "logic," these seem to be reasonable responses to these incidents.

As a Louisianian, I agree, we can't afford to lose the revenue now. As an American, given that this spill will effect states beyond our own, many of which don't drill overshore, I think being safe is the right call.
I think it is good that we raise hell as Louisianians. But it shouldn't be surprising that our desires in this specific area don't win out as the oil threatens the rest of the country as well.
