However, my point is not moot. He took his time and accepting that help earlier could have made a great difference...<BR/><BR/>I would LOVE for you to do that, it'd be great! Hope to hear from you soon!<BR/><BR/>PS: do you have a blog youself?Cadavre Exquishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02484946063997897495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14891727.post-1126734315389454522005-09-14T22:45:00.000+01:002005-09-14T22:45:00.000+01:00Good blog, but a few points that are little report...Good blog, but a few points that are little reported. One there are foriegn countries helping, Canada and Mexico for starters. Japan has also been seen as well as Israeli medical teams. I leave soon for the area to assist and I can shoot you some talking points from the area if you wish. A good Irish-American always helps in times of need.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14891727.post-1126693785180199142005-09-14T11:29:00.000+01:002005-09-14T11:29:00.000+01:00Spite and sarcasm, maybe not.

I do feel however that there was an element of 'shove your embargo up your ass, look how quickly we can turn around material and human resources, even for you , you capitalist pig' there...<BR/><BR/>The same could be said about the reaction of certain African countries, some of them amongst the poorest in the world pledging financial help. Whatever they manage to raise will most certainly not make a huge difference in the grand scheme of things and I am sure that some intentions are good, especially since the majority of the population affected by Katrina is Black.<BR/><BR/>However, criticism has been mounting as some African countries are pointing the finger at the way the Black victims were treated and portrayed while others are no doubt seeing this as an opportunity to get into the USA's good books.Cadavre Exquishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02484946063997897495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14891727.post-1126619530902265242005-09-13T14:52:00.000+01:002005-09-13T14:52:00.000+01:00Good post - and a lot of good points about the cap...Good post - and a lot of good points about the capacity for the States to use this time to rebuilt international relations. But on Castro, in particular, don't uou think the offer was probably tinged with spite and sarcasm? He surely never expected America to accept the help and, if they had done, he would have got unfathomable mileage from it!Fiona de Londrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08984300835188154240noreply@blogger.com
