It's one thing for critics to probe why no effective warning was given to the nations of south Asia before the December 26 tsunami struck. Now the victims are asking the question for which no satisfactory answer has yet been offered. From a woman in Sri Lanka who lost her father, sister and niece:
"Why didn't we receive warning? We had two hours after Indonesian quake and at least five minutes warning would have helped. Five minutes would have saved my father's life."
