The Phillipines unceremoniously threw us out of Subic Bay and Clark AB after nearly a century, so why was "Uncle Sugar" the first one they called when they wanted help, and why did we come running?

Dittos. It's unbelievable that the Philippine government cannot mobilize 3000 rescue workers from their own country to dig mud and roll boulders.

Because we are Americans. We rescue the innocent people caught in natural disasters.
Feel free to disagree or to turn your back on people in need.

Unknown to those who kick us in the teeth constantly, God almighty is watching and every good deed the USA does, God repays! I'd rather have blessings than curses from the Lord!

They know who to depend on when things get bad.
GO MARINES!

After Mt. Pinatubo erupted, Clark AFB was uninhabitable. As for Subic Bay, there are indications many Filipinos regret losing the U.S. base. However, the reason you help people in a natural disaster is because it's the right thing to do. Period.

I am reading" Imperial Grunts" which tells of our ongoing presence there. What we do is very low key but important.It is called "winning hearts and minds" and may be of great use in the future against the terrorists. They cannot win without the support of the "locals".
I highly recommend the book. Also explains Bush's visit to Mongolia.Good stuff.

Public relations.
If you disagreed with it, you'd call it a stunt.
If you agreed with it, you'd call it anti-terrorism.
