- American Conservative Magazine versus the wingnut blogosphere talk radio.A month before the election, the invariably well-informed Bob Novak forecast that Bush would withdraw from Iraq and "end the neoconservative dream of building democracy in the Arab world." Pat Buchanan in these pages claimed that the Iraq mess had tempered any Bush lust for further imperial adventures.

The United States said assistance was already on its way to some of the most stricken areas. The speed and scale of the disaster - with thousands dead - left some relief specialists struggling to keep pace with events. "The needs are enormous," said Louis Michel, a senior official of the European Union, which offered $4 million in emergency funds. |
