1500 Swedes? Looks like the casualty figures are going to keep increasing for several days yet.

"Kohl intends to complete his holiday."
Thank goodness for that (the poor deprived bastard).

Stop ranting about Kohl. He would have supported Bush in Iraq just like he supported Bush Sen. in Gulf I.
He's one of the few decent politicians left in Germany.

Independent travellers = sex tourists That too, but most of the independents are backpackers.

Well, thank goodness that the Sri Lankan Military had enough free time on their hands to rescue one guy off the roof of a hotel...
And, I'm so glad the Kohl has bounced back, and will continue his holiday. Probably do some sightseeing, maybe a little windsurfing ("The waves are killer, dude"), and if there's time maybe a little beachcombing...

A missed holiday; the horror, the horror.
To: seppel
Nothing against Kohl, But he could have sat on the roof a little longer.
The few resources they have in Thai could be used a bit more efficiently

Sri Lanka says its troops airlifted Mr Kohl from the roof of a flooded hotel. A spokesman for Mr Kohl said the 74-year-old had been staying at a coastal resort in Sri Lanka, where he was undergoing heath spa treatments, and was not hurt.
"Kohl intends to complete his holiday," he added.
Well thank goodness for that. With all the death and destruction, it sure would be a tragedy if ol' Helmut didn't get to finish his vacation.

Read another story where the Euro tourists were "demanding" that the beaches be cleaned up and that the American relief workers weer tehre only because of their guilt over the US destroying Iraq.

Bull Sh!t! Just because someone doesn't want a prepackaged, canned, boring vacation, doesn't mean they are sex tourists. Some people would simply like the freedom to change their plans and do the unexpected while traveling.

"Kohl Rescued as Swedes Fear Worst"
I never thought that Kohl was THAT bad.
To: Chad Fairbanks
Some Europeans complained that they had paid good money for their rooms and expected the beaches to be cleaned up promptly. Eurpoeans also were complaining that Americans who were working with local authoritities in the search and cleanup operations were doing so out of guilt in what they had done to the Iraqi people.
