I guess they are all waiting for their time cards to be authorized.
They need to punch in before they can start to work you know.

Oh, and the UN said no overtime.

I had to ask.

Rightly or wrongly, misinformed or not, ignorant or otherwise, I think it's because most take some silent pleasure in this.

The Euro countries have a entitlement complex.

I've heard/read that Japan has offered aid.

But, you're right, sl.....any kind of compassion/aid from those to whom our country, our people, have so generously given is sorely lacking.

Actually, I think, France, Germany, Australia, New Zeland, Japan, Russia, Canada, England, and Venezuela have all offered some type of support.

That's all I would really be expecting. The rest of the counties are just too damn dirt poor to be really offering anything.

Well I guess the Swiss should offer..but I don't expect anything from any African, or most of the Asian countries.

I figure the U.N. said NO because Kofi Annan could not get his normal 15% commission of the $10 Billion Aid package from Congress.

Has it occurred to anyone on this thread to actually look things up before commenting on them? I mean even if only to the extent of searching free republic for other threads which cover this topic.

I mean, sheesh!

Interesting question - thanks for posting.

Just read the daily update from Taranto, who reports that Germany has offered - repeatedly - technical assistance and has spoken to Secretary Rice affirming their willingness to help.

Australia has also offered help.

Saudi Arabia has offered to increase their oil production, though, I think I would too at over $70 per barrel! :-)
