Europe - Compare Katrina to Europe's Disaster Response

From Instapundit.

CLIFF MAY:

579. That’s the current death toll in Louisiana from the hurricane and catastrophic flooding. Terrible for the victims, their family, their friends.

But also much less than the 10,000 widely predicted.

And, BTW, much less than the more than 35,000 killed by a heat wave in Europe two summers ago.

You recall the debate that set off about European heartlessness, racism and discrimination? No, neither do I.

Me neither.

UPDATE: More on that here.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Some history for Bill Clinton.

As I recall, France's death toll in that heat wave was in the tens of thousands while Chirac was on holiday.
