Also this is the same country that declared a fatwa of Jihad against America surrounding the run up to Iraq. Maybe they should be just a little more grateful to us Americans, see where they would be at had we left Muslim countries to aid them.

So far the only quotes I have seen are from the vice-president saying that he would like it if all foreign aid workers and troops would leave by a certain date. Before the Tsunami, these areas were off limits to foreigners and I'm sure they want to get back to status quo (regardless of how you feel about their reasons).
As for the guy in the OSB shirt... complaining about that is like complaining that some guy in the US is wearing a Che Guevera shirt... I am fairly certain that the US administration does not support the Cuban Revolution...
And finger pointing at a group of people dancing in the street post 9/11 is hardly fair either... do we have context? How many were involved? etc... This like saying because I see some Militiamen waving rifles around and forming an Army ALL Americans are armed to the teeth and fear the government's interfence...
Don't judge 201 million people by what you think you see on CNN...
