I was wondering about this:

http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/09/03/kat...aid/index.html

It seems like there has been an outpouring of foreign aid offered to the US by over 50 countries. I think Qatar came up with $100 million. India, Thailand, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka - the four hardest hit by the tsunamis are also prominent.

So far though, the US hasn't accepted. But it's still nice to see that others were so willing to offer us help you know? Especially poor countries and countries like Qatar too. Even our "old friend" Venezuela was one of the first to offer us help.

I think that's cool and nice (sorry cynics). It reminds me of 9/11 - when the Masai of Kenya "donated" 1000 head of cattle to the US to help us. I thought it was quite touching.
