Who would have thought it – Laura Bush taking on the Bloods and the Crips, or any of the other street gangs that prowl the country. But she has – not in any back-alley brawl, but in her own first lady way – in speeches and round-table forums and conferences, at home and on the road.

"I'm supportive of the first lady and President Bush," said Omar Jahwar, executive director of Vision Regeneration, a nonprofit Dallas gang intervention and youth development organization. "But at the same time, it has to be more real strategy."

"It doesn't happen from operating at 30,000 feet and throwing money down," he warned, alluding to her outreach trips around the country aboard an Air Force jet. "You have to get down on the street level."

On Oct. 27, as Mrs. Bush hosted her Helping America's Youth conference in Washington, 70 local, state and federal law enforcement officers coincidentally flooded north Oak Cliff, serving warrants on gang members.
