    GAH!!! The thing that is most irritating is the cost to everyone for another misjudgment. Somewhere on the Indian coast, a group of officials decides not to warn the population about the impending problem… and tens of thousands (potentially 100,000 after disease and such) die. Rather than taking the blame, or placing the blame, where it belongs, the “rich” get blamed. I am all for helping them out with whatever they need to help restore order, but LEARN THE LESSON! Once you start to assign blame, you are not LEARNING.

    The lesson to learn here is, life is more important than tourism. Once they decide that the US is at fault, they will ignore the lesson and the US will look like the international bad guy again.

    I think we all need to realize that if a democrat were in the White House, none of this would be newsworthy.

    People are going out of their way to find a way to blame President Bush. They’re trying to find some way to blame it on global warming or some other environmental problem that the U.S. can be blamed for because we didn’t sign the Kyoto treaty. They’re trying to blame the USGS.

    This is about absolute hatred for a conservative to moderate republican president. Maybe it’s about time the world had a lesson in what would happen if we stopped all foreign aid of any kind, including disaster relief. Fortunately, this country is too generous to do something like that.
