You had to know it was only a matter of time before someone got around to blaming Georgie Junior:

Indian Minister of State for Science and Technology Kapil  Sibal said,  “If the country had such an alert system in  place, we could have warned the coastal areas of the  imminent danger and avoided the loss of life.”  But there  is no room in the Bush budget for such life-saving measures; the U.S. government's priorities are corporate  profit and endless war.

At a meeting of the UN Intergovernmental Oceanographic  Commission in June, experts concluded that the “Indian  Ocean has a significant threat from both local and distant  tsunamis” and should have a warning network. But no action  was agreed upon. Geologist Brian Atwater of the U.S.  Geological Survey said, “Sumatra has an ample history of  great earthquakes, which makes the lack of a tsunami  warning system in the Indian Ocean all the more tragic. Everyone knew Sumatra was a loaded gun.”
