Amazing who steps up and who doesn't.

So far I have read Japan and Russia both have offered aid. Two former deadly enemies now offering a hand in friendship.

The silence is deafening from Europe, our long ally

Canada offerred help after 9-11. The people are very kind. Plus, they send us all their models & comedians.

They can keep their singers though.

I posted earlier that the UN is sending someone to review the progress on the Indonesian tsunami but not a peep on the hurricane.

WOW! Surprising!

Two things, first: Kosovo is not a nation but an illegally occupied province of Serbia and 2. Chiraq probably hates them as Americanized traitors.

Bump and thank you Russia.

My previous post was not intended to suggest that Canada would not offer aid. In fact, Canada has stepped up to the plate - well, more precisely, Ontario. This article suggests that some politicians in Ontario are criticizing their premier (governor) for not responding more quickly - sounds familiar (remember the criticisms of Bush after the tsunami?). I also read that the federal government of Canada had offered assistance.

I think he was referring to the likes of Stalin and Lenin....all thankfully dead now.

A tad more info for anyone who wants to write and thank Russia:

"Information on what sort of issues people raise in their letters to the President of Russia is updated weekly on the President’s Web site."

Freeper struwwelpeter has some heart wrenching threads he made here at FR on Beslan.

[jb6]

Don't worry, in a day or three the UN and EU will be DEMANDING a report on how we allowed this tragedy to happen. Remember Beslan? The EU's response was to DEMAND a report from the Russians on how they allowed this to happen.

The Fourth Reichers are what the Fourth Reichers are.

I see that now, and offer my apology.

thank you all

No offense, but I think we all need to temper our criticisms - aid and assistance will be offered by most everyone (and, in many cases, probably already has been offered). Although it's hard to believe, we are essentially only in the second day of recovery. Even now it is not entirely clear what is needed, and where any aid should go. They will all step up to the plate.

God bless Russia.

Bless you. Catching a cold?

Thank you Mr. Putin. Your offer is appreciated.

Hey, you got the wrong idea. I was referring to Stalin and Lenin. Sorry for the confusion.

[rjp2005]

Two cargoplanes. Oh how nice.

Now lets see - didnt we give Russia about - oh I dont know - something like $200 BILLION dollars to rebuild their country?

And in return, they've stabbed in us in back by ARMING an anti-US Iranian regime, ferretting Saddam's chemical weapons out of Iraq, and sending missles to Syria??

Russia you want to help us? Stop supporting and arming the Iranian regime which is fighting us in Iraq! Stop the passive agressive crap of being nice to us with little things and stabbing our back on the big things.

[Neoliberalnot]

Hey rip, you do make a couple of good points.
