A Question

So a thought just occurred to me and I'm curious:

I know that, normally, when a disaster strikes a state, the national guard steps up and helps with relief efforts. Is the war in Iraq diverting troops that would've been available to help in the Gulf Coast? Do states have enough National Guard troops to take care of this? Again, I don't really know much about this and I'm genuinely wondering.

Edit: And now I've found an article on Salon that addresses this issue.
