I'm not being cynical. I'm a very realistic, independent rational thinking person. In disasters, Americans have always helped Americans, and Americans have helped the world. And yes, Americans have opened their homes to help the people of Louisiana, and Mississippi. But, have you heard of any immediate help coming from any foreign countries? Are ships, equipment, medicines, food, or people on the way, or have any airplanes landed with help? Your answer has to be no. We shouldn't have to beg or ask, help should come automatically. If that's cynical thinking, then I guess, I'm cynical.
The answer is YES..we are receiving aid from foreign countries in the LA disaster..
