<When there is a large scale disaster on U.S. soil, no other country helps the U.S, including the Muslim countries we just finished helping out.>

I was wondering who would be the first to start complaining but it seems that Neil Cavuto beat you to it yesterday. Before the extent of the disaster is even known he was whining about the lack of foreign aid. It will come. We (Canada) have already offered many things and more will come but it didn't look so devastating at first. Most don't remember but the tsunami aid was slow in developing initially because people did not realise the extent of the damage until about 24 hours or more had passed. It is better to lead by example than to expect something in return.

Just out of curiosity, what would you suggest these destitute countries supply to the US?

I just got done posting the very same thing to him. There is always the expectation that people will respond in exactly the same way as you do, and when they don't, people get bent out of shape. And worse, there is an strong need for Americans to make the Muslims wrong. So when they hear that Canada or the Swiss or Austria are helping out, then they ask where art Saudi Arabia or Turkey or Indonesia. Its not enough that Canada is helping out......every last person we have aided in the past has to send assistance.

That was exactly the MO of my mother........you could never do enough for her. Who says America's gifts come without strings? <g>
