| I saw this issue raised on another board that I visit sometimes. We are typically the first country to send disaster aide when these things happen in the world (even to Iran) has any other country ever offered aide when it happens to us? |

| We can handle it, but you're right it would be nice as a gesture if nothing else. |

It is sad that America reaches out to help the world and the world turns its back to us.  |

I would like to see the world do without our aid.
I saw an article recently about Israel sending aid or rescue teams to many countries after disasters. When Iran had their terrible earthqaule teh mullahs said it would be better if Iranians die than be helpoed by jews.
Some of the children sent of the Beslan massacre were sent to Israel for surgical treatment that only Israeli trauma surgeons can administer due to all the suicide bombings.
6 Countries I know of that send aid to many places: USA, Canada, Britain, Australia, Japan, and Israel. There are probably more, but these are the ones I see in the media quite often.
Back to my poiint.....
Can one imagine a world without these countries sending teams of aid workers and their medicine?
Maybe some of those UN countries should envison a world without our aid.
