"Even with difficulties delivering foreign aid, it is beginning to arrive at or near the Gulf Coast, including ready-to-eat meals from Britain, tents from France, and first-aid kits and baby formula from Italy"
For all of those who say: where is the aid from all of those other countries that we've helped in the past?
Blog showing the fact that we've been offered a *lot* of aid. (yes, even from France)
"The oil-rich nation of Qatar has offered the United States $100 million to assist in the humanitarian crisis triggered by Hurricane Katrina."
They can afford it, you say? How about the POOR nations, recently squashed by the tsunami?
"...official statements of sympathy and aid offers from at least 70 nations, including countries usually on the receiving end of U.S. and other foreign help. Among them was Bangladesh, which Monday pledged $1 million."
So, as a country, I think that it's clear that we have plenty to feel sorry for ourselves for; being abandoned by the rest of the world just doesn't fit the facts.

Cool! this is great news!Bangladesh? talk about squeezing blood from a stone! I also read last night where the Mexicans have sent their first ever aid to the US yesterday in the form of military trucks carrying supplies.
I guess the whole world doesn't hate us after all, contrary to what I hear all the time. ;)
I am sure the hurricane victims are extremely grateful for any help they receive.
