Have there been any countries that have offered anything more to us than the trite line "gee, we're sorry about NOLA and Biloxi. You will be in our prayers"???

After this I say we don't give a dime to any other country for natural disasters. The last year has brought two horrific hurricanes (Ivan and Katrina) and numerous less severe ones. How much overseas aid have we received???

The prosecution rests, yer Honor...........

Americans are the most generous people on earth. We don't need no stinkin' foreign aid.

Israel offered condolences and help. They said that they don't have much experience in floods, but they have a lot of know-how dealing with collapsed buildings.

I am not making a joke. That is really what the note to Condoleeza Rice said. I thought it was sweet. They are as stunned as we are.
