That's not really true, is it?
Australia and Japan have pledged assistance, and I'm sure the Brits are determining how much will be needed.
Are you smoking crack?
Countries that have offered aid:
Britain
Russia
Germany
Japan
Venezuela
Canada
France has offered sympathies.
Was reported yesterday that Russia is sending transport planes and something else. Staff for cleanup and search and rescue, I think, a boat perhaps?
"What's really amazing -- There has been ZERO international sympathy, support or offer of aid to the U.S.?"
This is incorrect. I read Canada, Australia, UK, Japan are among many nations offering sympathy and help. Canada has been asked by the US and is ready to supply emergency medicines from the government stockpile. They are also sending search-and-rescue teams. I heard EU nations could also be willing to do something to help with the oil shortage.This is being considered a catastrophe that has global implications so many nations will help.
Not true. Germany has set up Telephone numbers were people can donate and help the relief effort. Teams are being readied to be sent out.

Offers have been received from Russia, Japan, Canada, France, Honduras, Germany, Venezuela, Jamaica, Australia, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Greece, Hungary, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Mexico, China, South Korea, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, NATO and the Organization of American States, the spokesman said. Still, Bush told ABC-TV: "I'm not expecting much from foreign nations because we hadn't asked for it. I do expect a lot of sympathy and perhaps some will send cash dollars. But this country's going to rise up and take care of it.''
You don't read the international press do you?
