The world responds...

The U.S. is taking its first steps to responding to the worst natural disaster of our lifetime.

The U. N. is proposing a tsunami warning system for Asia.

Public outcry (plus an abysmally low aproval rating) has forced Bush to become engaged in this event. But how much pressure will it take to get him to cooperate with the U.N. on building this system? Well, this could be a way to foster good will in the region and mend fences at the U.N. (as well as coopting a "liberal" viewpoint). Lets hope a cynical attempt at political cover forces him into doing the right thing.

If he can conquer the word "nuclear" in 4 short years, I'm sure he'll be pronouncing tsunami correctly before the crisis is over...
