...More disturbing, he says, are signs that campaigns urging people to evacuate early are not working. The effectiveness of radio-broadcast public evacuation warnings will also be examined - though with a fire moving that fast, "there's little time to warn people, and little time for people to heed the warning." In the meantime, stories of heroism and loss are spreading through the stunned townships of the peninsula. Wangary general-store owner Sandra Saunders says she has "never seen people look so sad."

Unfortunately, though, his advice is limited by geography. Thousands of dead Iraqi civilians certainly can't heed it. Whole schools of children in Iraq are too frightened of being kidnapped to venture outdoors. There's no hiking there. God alone knows what effect another four years of compassionate conservatism will bring the world...
