I see a lot of isolationist proponents and ideas here, but maybe Katrina has shown that we're not quite as capable as we think we are at dealing with disasters of this scale. Terrorists were watching, and they're surely thinking about the fun detonating something nuclear would cause.

Germany offering help and releasing oil into the marketplace

Canada stands by

Of course, many countries have offered nothing more then "condolences"...

Admittedly some barely have any money or aid to spare.

more help and condolences

We may need help in the future, we're not bulletproof. Like many other things wrong with our global policies; foreign aid, both the way it comes in and especially the way it goes out as well as why we're not getting much, needs to be examined.

This is an example for all of us and I hope the Government takes note....it is time to start taking care of our own!!!!!!!!!! Enough sending millions and millions in aid around the world and none of the countries recieving it appreciates it!!!!!! No more aid I say.....keep our hard earned tax dollars here in our country and take care of our own!

momma always said to take care of your family first... before the one on the next block.
