This is, I think, the single offer of assistance received from ANY country for 9-11. Sure lots of other countries said, "Sorry to hear you got blow'd up"...but did they send search crews, dogs, trucks, money? It just shows how wonderful people can really be, no matter the differences....

I think Canada sent crews, but our countries are siblings.

You are correct about Canada. The US US has a special relationship with a few countries, most of which are the white countries of the British Commonwealth. We are tied by blood, culture, history, and commerce in a way that no other country can be. The closest would be Israel, where blood donation began within an hour of the attack.

The NATO countries of mainland Europe all sent condolences and many helped in the war, but their responses were more constrained.
