Please don't mistake the bad decisions of our gov't officials as a barometer of the American public's gratitude. Believe me, the average American is very grateful for your offer of assistance.

Keep those planes gassed up and at the ready; hopefully our "leaders" will soon see the folly of their position and accept your offer. Else they will be looking for a new job come next election day.

Way to go P Diddy and Jay Z who have pledged 1 million in aid.
U.S. defense arrangements with Canada are more extensive than with any other country. The Permanent Joint Board on Defense, established in 1940, provides policy-level consultation on bilateral defense matters. The United States and Canada share NATO mutual security commitments. In addition, U.S. and Canadian military forces have cooperated since 1958 on continental air defense within the framework of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). The military response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 both tested and strengthened military cooperation between the United States and Canada. In December 2002, the two countries established a Binational Planning Group to develop joint plans for maritime and land defense and for military support to civil authorities in times of emergency. Since 2002, Canada has participated in joint military actions in Afghanistan and, in early 2004, Canada assumed command of the International Security and Assistance Forces (ISAF) in Kabul. Canada has also contributed to stabilization efforts in Haiti, including by deploying over 500 Canadian troops.
However Stockwell Day, foreign affairs critic for the Conservatives, criticized Martin for being "nowhere to be found" when the hurricane struck.

What's interesting and irrelevant here is where are all the ATS hardcore neocon supporters. Where is your great leader when tragedy strikes?
It is mind boggling to hear that any international support is being refused. My god I really couldn't believe that this government could be so disorganized and helpless.
I pray for these people and have contributed my small share in the hopes that some good can start to happen. God bless the people hit by this awful storm.
