If the MSM had spent less time bitching about, politicizing and second-guessing the Bush administration's hurricane relief efforts they might have noticed the utter lack of even a polite offer of assistance from a single foreign government.
I tell you what? The US can stand on its own feet; no country offered help when thousands of East Germans lost their homes 2002 because of river floodings. I think western countries need no help, because they can bear the consequences of such natural disasters alone. If you cannot agree with that and stay with this sentence, so be it.
"I think western countries need no help, because they can bear the consequences of such natural disasters alone."
I can agree because it shows the foreign rationale for what I said earlier. ("...FEMA was doing what has to be done when there is nowhere to turn for help...the aid door only swings out...") I'm proud to say we can take care of ourselves and hope to God we can remain that way! And, staying with that sentence, thanks for admitting that your desire to help people is based on their location and what they have done for you lately. Your criticism is now a badge of honor.
