Except Canada, who has announced a willingness to give whatever aid they can (specifically medical attention), to the people of New Orleans. I'd like to say "thank you" for their support in this time of crisis.
Other countries are trying to help, including the president of Venezuela who was just recommended an assasination by Pat Robertson not too long ago...the aid is just not being accepted or paid attention by the Bush administration.

And I was bitching about the fact that people were bitching...people forget that beggars can't be choosers.
Notice, I mentioned Venezuela. I also don't support the person who called for an assassination on him.

The fact remains that alot of the stuck up @$$holes in Europe aren't doing so much as lifting a finger to lend a hand. I appreciate the help that is being offered. I just wish that the self-centered countries who aren't doing a thing to help would quit bitching when we don't lend them a hand.

There's an old nursery tale about a guy who's making bread. He asks others to help him sow the grain, harvest it, bake the bread, etc... No one helps him, and then they are shocked when he eats it all himself. That's the US. If you want our aid, you have to do something to deserve it. Our country has enough problems without giving handouts to everyone else.

Also, I didn't say a thing about you. The only person I mentioned, in fact, was Cloud No.9, who was extremely vehement in his rantings at the US for not helping other countries. Notice that he hasn't said a word about how his country and 90% of the others in the world haven't done a thing to aid us. That's being a hypocrite, and I have no problem pointing it out.
