You thought our lack of preparation for a hurricane was bad?

I came accross this article and it immediately sent my mind spinning with all sorts of scenarios. After seeing this disasters created by the tsunami and by hurricane Katrina, what would happen if an asteroid collided with earth? Sure, it is very unlikely ( a 1 in 5,500 chance), but what if it did happen? Could you imagine the pandemonium that would insue? After seeing the heat President Bush is taking, I would feel really bad for this president. If this happends, what would ensue seems like something that would come straight from a captivating science fiction text.
