European countries were on Thursday preparing to release emergency stockpiles of petrol as the US confirmed that some refineries hit by Hurricane Katrina would remain shut for several months.

Earlier US officials had estimated the closures at only one to two weeks.

Officials from member governments of the International Energy Agency, the energy watchdog of industrialised countries, said they were now waiting only for the US to agree to such a measure.

Good news for the U.S...

I know this article is quite in contradict with what is happening this time. Maybe the writer was just overcome by his emotion pertaining to how some nations reacted with the tragedy... particularly some muslim nations.

But in some aspect he may be right as well.
