I mean, Castro is offering aid to a country that has a habit of invading his. Those outside the US federal administration can do nothing but wait to be given permission. This discussion is stupid, there's nothing more to say about people, organisations and countries offering aid.

Well, Im at a bit of a loss as to WHEN you think it would become crucial, especially in light of the deaths already occurring...again: My thanks to those who HAVE offered help. And my severest condemnation to Monkey boy and his minions for their ineptitude and obstructionism. I find it hard to believe that the US is turning down help however when Bush has actually tapped his dad and Clinton to organize the relief effort. Personally, I think you just CANT give the US ANY credit EVER. We are your favorite dart board.
hoo ha.

But: as you asked to stop talking about this, I am willing to comply. in the interests of world peace and unity

Ah, to be called an idiot by the peerless Lux! how sublime! Tell me: how is it you manage to skirt the guidelines and make personal attacks? Is it your charm? your ingratiating manner? I think not. I think it is your ability to sink below the radar of good taste. Oh YES. Congratulations.

btw: your corner misses you.

Ugh and we still can't steer away from name calling and such??

Come on people....

My mom taught me this....perhaps it's time to rehash the lesson...

"If you don't have anything nice to say.....then don't say anything"

That anyone even dares to defend that five day lapse of time is laughable, esp. considering even the Pres. of the U.S. does not defend it and hundreds of private citizens and public entities have said they offered help as early as Monday and FEMA refused it.

I was talking about aid from foreign countries.
