I just realized today - whenever most countries have disasters (natural or otherwise), there is usually an outpouring of offers of support from governments worldwide. As far as I know, there have been no calls made to France offering support (equipment, swat teams, intel, etc). Seems like everyone is silently letting France go down in flames. Not that I'm complaining....

Interesting observation. The only offer for help I have seen was Libya, which was refused.

That's what happens when your country has stabbed most of the free world in the back repeatedly, has offended *everyone*, and has held itself superior to everyone else by claiming to be Utopia.

France has claimed that its ability to handle anything dwarfs that of anyone else, anywhere, any time. The rest of the world is simply taking France at its word and watching.
