Katrina sets big test for US - BBC News
Hurricane Katrina will be as big a test for the United States as was the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001.

By Paul Reynolds
World Affairs correspondent, BBC News website

It will test not just the leadership of President Bush but the whole country. The crisis raises widely different issues.
Should civilisation be planted in areas where nature has declared its hostility? Does a society hold together or split apart in a disaster?
