Maybe another dumb question

Do you remember when the tsunamis hit, at first, many countries said the U,S, wasn't doing enough? Well our southern coast has been clobbered. How many countries have rushed to our aid. Maybe it is time for us to take care of ourselves and just say; Sorry folks, the bank is closed,

We should mind OUR own business [:p] Also we shouldnt help iraq and "give them food and supplies" they can starve if they want to blow us up. They dont deserve sweat off our feet. Also, everyone is going to die. No matter what. We all die someday[;)] So, Who showers naked? [:p]

Ontario Hydro sent in a large crew last year to assist Florida's cleanup
after a hurricane. Ontario Hydro said today it's just waiting for a
request and is ready to send manpower and equipment south.

the orgianl poster brings up a few good points..but you have to keep in mind..in the eyes of just about evey other country on earth..we are the richest..most powerfull people on the planet...and they think that it is our responsiblity to help the rest of the world out... and we as a whole in the US do..we give the most in charity to other countrys then any other country in the world... but since the rest of the world feels that we should spead the welth around... when something happens here on our own soil...they say..hey... your rich..you fix it... its ok for them to get our money..but god forbid they want to show some respect and send some of it back to help here..... charity on the world scale is a 1 way street with the US doing all the given it seems...

I apologise, Canada has always been our friend and comes to America's aid whenever necessary . I am talking about the ones who really hate us but whenever trouble hits them, feel the U.S needs to immediately come to their aid. As far as I'm concerned, screw them.

Plus we need to stop all this Aid to these another Country 200 Billion a year we gives other people in aid plus this War 300 Billion Dollars. We can't Help out are own People here in USA, but we Sure can help out another Country.[2c]

Remember the United States is the world's 911..... But when we need help we get the message "all phone lines are busy please call back later".[:D]

Remember people hate America so much but they really seem to love those American greenbacks.[8]

HMM.... Lets go bomb the country's with all the oil! Maybe we can make up an excuse.............I GOT IT!!! Lets say the have WOMD!!!
Screw Iraq. What have we got in return?
Canada has always been our allai (spelling) and when I say screw Iraq, thats literal, its not for any other countries, just them.

To crystalriver and others
Nowhere in the above postings did I see any derogetory remarks about Canada.
During 911 when planes where diverted to Newfoundland, flocks of people
went to the airports and took the passengers into their homes for several weeks
Aid was snet to NewYork. During forest fires in the states, we sent in out
Canadiar water bombers. Aid was sent to Florida last years hurricanes
Yes we will be sending aid in to the States again during this crisis

One question I have though What help is U.S.A.'s other neighbour,
namely Mexico going to supply ???
