Independent Online Edition > Americas : app6

President George Bush has linked the 9/11 attacks to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, saying the US was able to "overcome any challenge". Days before the fourth anniversary of the terror attacks on New York and Washington, Mr Bush declared: "America is a strong and resilient nation." At the swearing-in-ceremony for Karen Hughes, his new senior official for "public diplomacy", Mr Bush said 100 countries had offered assistance to help hurricane victims. He said there had been a "a similar outpouring of support when another tragedy struck our nation", the 2001 suicide hijack attacks.
