But a lot of those aid offers were *also* for political reasons. Do you honestly believe that Cuba and Venezuela offered help because they're so nice and friendly? Hell no... it's purely political: "look at us helping the evil enemy, aren't we great?".
And if Bush declines the aid, he might have a pretty good reason. But of course, politically it looks bad: "they're only declining it because they're enemies".
You can't blame the US for political games, and ignore the other side. They're just as bad, if not worse.
