[locksly]

I just learned about this and it makes me mad as hell . Why are the other nations on us so hard after all we are the country that rebuilt Europe after WW-II and we were the first to help Mexico after their earthquake and finanitial troubles. Where are our friends at now?? Dan R

I never supported the relief aid to begin with. When the N. Korea controversy popped up last year, they indicated they would not back us. If you don't support us, don't expect us to support you. The tsunami sucks, but you didn't see the whole world rush to send us stuff on 9/11, **** some countries even had parties after they saw the footage. High time for the US to worry about the US, we have enough problems ourselves and sending out aid to other people before taking care of our own in crazy. There's alot I hate about what's going on over here these days, but by gosh we're still the best country around.

So were doing this whole releif thing to improve relations with the Muslim people, only we don't want the muslim people to know it's us?

Maybe we should just send them some of thier own roadside "Assistance" packages that we've collected.

Winchester, you got that right !

Ya would figure at a time like that, who cares what flag is on it. To be honest with you, those people over there are probably so devistated they aint worried about being offended when we send supplies with our flag on it.

Im sorry, but with that crap, I dont feel guilty if we dont help out. We have enough problems of our to deal with

Where did you hear this? Fox has been showing film all day of American workers that wear American Flags on their clothes. They also showed bags of wheat and rice with American Flags on them. They also had a report this morning about their Friday prayers and they could over hear the clergy praising America for the help. Now every Friday before those same people were damming America over Iraq.
