I really feel for all the poor people down in New Orleans and Florida. For New Orleans, They really have never experienced a Hurricane like this because the wetlands that once protected the below sea level city from Hurricanes are now pretty much gone from all of the development that has happened during the last 70 years.

In fact, I havent seen one scrap of information on any of the major sights, regarding this piece of information. If he truly did turn down aid, it seems like that would be pretty damn big news.

Yea, I’d like to know where that link is too. I have a very hard time believing that any world leader would turn down an offer for help from another country.

Pseudo:

That is not my point at all.

this thing isn’t over, and we have a BIG mess on our hands.

I will be very surprised if we even get a third of the help back that we dish out daily.

I Can’t believe that we would turn down aid at this point.

does any one have a link so I can check that out?

also, you know there is dancing in the streets over in the Middle East right now.

I just hope that we can get every one out of harms way and keep this incident from growing out of control like bread left to rise too long.

Sound, you’re apparently very selective about which propaganda you want to be exposed to. SUBSTANTIALLY more than 1/8 of a donation actually gets used. In fact, it’s closer to 1/8 going to overhead. That is still high, and needs to be worked on. However, that said, the Red Cross is still best equipped to actually make a difference, so the returns on dollars donated are pretty damned good.

In the future, if you’re actually overwhelmingly concerned with the efficiency of your dollar (rather than using efficiency as an excuse for keeping your money), donate to Doctors Without Borders. They have less overhead than anyone. However, they aren’t terribly active in the States to my knowledge. So, in the short term, while people are busy dying, pry open your wallet and give to the Red Cross.

well, quite a FEW countries have offered help now, but in our arrogant, redneck pride, we’ve decided to not ACCEPT any foreign offers of help. Bush has got to have the worst foreign diplomacy in the HISTORY of the United States Presidency. Fucking unbelievable.

Stephen– I never said the US saved the sailors– but they sure did scramble to get their special mini-subs on a big plane and headed that way pronto… i’m sure that wasn’t cheap to drop everything and use resources like that.

Canada are offering to help out with the relief too. Just few years ago, Nova Scotia (my province) was hit by Hurricane Juan and left us in a pretty bad shape, but some states in US helped us out (along with some other countries too).

So we’re returning the favour, but you have to understand that we and most of the other countries doesn’t have an abyssmal amount of money to give out, but I agree that they should help out in some way.
