"Still, Bush told ABC-TV: ``I'm not expecting much from foreign nations ..." Just one example (from the Guardian): "Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon sent a letter to President Bush offering hundreds of doctors, nurses, technicians and other experts in trauma, natural disasters and public health. ``We also offer field hospitals, medical kits and equipment for temporary housing, reinforcement for hospitals, or any assistance that you may require,'' Sharon wrote. He said the teams and equipment could be ready in 24 hours." And an SOS from New Orleans: http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-5249411,00.html?gusrc=ticker-103704 _________________ Richard Haut has worked with the architectural profession for over 25 years and produces the weekly Richard Haut's Competitions, which has given architects details of many thousands of projects for which they can apply across Britain and Europe.
