The Bush administration's muted reaction to Friday's bomb in Najaf exposed the US paralysis on governance in post-war Iraq and underscored the confusion of who should respond - and how - to the latest terror attack.

On Friday, the lack of reaction from US officials in Baghdad and Washington illustrated how unevolved the nascent administration of Iraq remains three months after the official end of hostilities.

In an apparent power vaccum after the bomb, Paul Bremer, the chief American administrator, was on vacation. The US military command said nothing and the Bush administration distanced itself from taking the lead role in the investigation.
