Katrina Perspectives...
The Bush Administration's response to Hurricane Katrina seems to be offering plentiful opportunity for foreign observers to reflect on the multiple ironies of a United States seemingly floundering at what it projects to the world its best at: matters of security, whether the challenge comes from terrorists or from the forces of nature. The Peruvian newsmagazine Caretas offered yet another critical perspective, adding to a litany from around the world suggesting how the Bush administration's sole focus on international terrorism--both at home and abroad--blinded them to the real dangers presented by the rise of Katrina. "The gross indifference of this administration (to the rising tragedy) comes partly out of their monothematic agenda and dangerous incompetence."
