- China's President Hu Juntao: "the American people will definitely overcome the natural disaster and rebuild their beautiful homeland."
- Pope Benedict XVI prayed for hurricane victims
- French President Jacques Chirac -- who's publicly quarreled with President Bush -- sent a message of sympathy beginning with "Dear George"
- German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder sent his sympathy
- Queen Elizabeth II said she was "deeply shocked and saddened"
- Swiss citizens have swamped the US Embassy in Bern with offers of help and donations
Islamic extremists praised the storm, giving it a rank in the jihad against the US. They referred to it as "Private" Katrina. Meanwhile, "General" Dynamics continues to churn out "Major" Weapons Systems blasting the hills of Afghanistan.
