My heart goes out to all those affected, I hope that President Blair is offering technical assistance from the UK's emergency and military resources.

I dont want or intend to be devisive or confrontational but listening to an "expert" on radio 4 (obviously beyond reproach) they said that the occurence of hurricanes/frequency and level is cyclical and it was this bad in the 1960's. That means that Geo. W Bush's policies and handling of the Kyoto agreement has little or no effect on Hurricanes now or in the future.

Thats not to say that the Geo. W Bush administrations anti Kyoto stance doesnt effect someone or something else but you shouldnt expect Geo. W Bush to change his mind because of the disaster that has hit Missisipi and the other states.

As a frequent visitor to the US over the last twenty years I have been humbled many times by American genorosity and kindness I hope that we can in some small way contribute to easing their troubles.
