Who cares if they come and help? We probably wouldn't NEED help anyawy.
Most of the world does not have the resources the United States has so it is
a responsibility as the worlds last remaining super power to be there in a
time of need. In fact, I am very disappointed that Australia has commited
twice the amount of funds the US has to tsunami aid. We should be doing
more.

Yeh, but those are Australian dollars. My toe nail is worth more. 🙂

Check your facts, Chris. When all added up, the U.S. contribution is hands
down higher than down under's...over?!? 🙂

I heard a pretty good explanation of how disaster aid works. The initial
objective is ASSESSMENT, which takes a bit of time and personnel to
accomplish. If you just pour dollars and materials into a place with no way
to deliver and distribute it when and where needed, it's not very effective.
(Different areas have different needs. Some have no water but food supply
is ok; others have water but no medicine or hospitals, etc.) That's why our
/initial/ outlay was just $35 million -- to see what was happening and what
would be necessary -- then quickly ratcheted up to $350M. (And that's sure
to grow more, plus all the private and corporate money that's being
pledged.)

The sad fact is that the U.S. will be criticized no matter WHAT it does, as
you yourself demonstrate.

BS (no, really)

If you're trying to shock and/or anger me with your ignorance, you are going
to have to try much harder. There are many more like you who are better
spoken and just as clueless.

Fair enough...but perhaps getting the facts straight might influence how you
feel? (Although, that's the actual problem in many parts of the world: no
matter WHAT the facts are, the U.S. is hated/resented. Thus this thread!)

I neither hate nor resent the US, I don't like our current administration.

E.g.. Carl Marx?

That is the first time in my post collegiate life that I have ever
referenced Carl Marx to make a point. Hey, I'm like you!!!

Thank God for Berkley ------- oh [censored], I'm not supposed to say God ....can I
still be in the "more enlightened than everyone else" club?

still serve as peacekeepers in Afghanistan (and Kosovo).

Several ships were already in-route to the area to render aid long
before GWB stood up to pledge our monitary support in front of the
news cameras. Nobody ever considered that.. Nor how much that is
costing us in fuel, food and salaries for that aid to get there and be
given. Just look at the USNS Mercy, ( http://www.mercy.navy.mil/ )12
state of the art operatingrooms, a 1,000 bed hospital facility, et....
Can you even begin to guess at what it takes to operate a ship of that
size???? a 1000 bed floating hospital, and the complete staff to run
it.
