Foreign Aide?

Yanno, I was wondering something a little bit ago. I wonder how many countries are going to come out our aide due to the hurricane. I think now would be a great time for other countries to step in and offer assistance.

I wonder if they will get us some aide like we did for the tsunami and any other disaster that we stepped in and helped out.

Ehh.. It was just a random thought going through my head and thought it was post worthy :p. If anyone reading this has been effected by hurricane Katrina, I sincerely hope that you, your family and friends are ok. You are all in my thoughts.

Stay safe everyone.

CARACAS (AFP) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez offered to send food and fuel to the United States after the powerful Hurricane Katrina pummeled the US south, ravaging US crude production.

The leftist leader, a frequent critic of the United States and a target himself of US disapproval, said Venezuela could send aid workers with drinking water, food and fuel to US communities hit by the hurricane.

"We place at the disposition of the people of the United States in the event of shortages -- we have drinking water, food, we can provide fuel," Chavez told reporters.

Chavez said fuel could be sent to the United States via a Citgo refinery that has not been affected by the hurricane. Citgo is owned by Venezuela's state-owned oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA).


Wonder if good ol' Pat Roberston still wants the guy taken out?

It just seems nobody gives a shit that one of our major cities is half under water, and not a single country has sent condolences. Ohh well. Like I said, it was just something on my mind.

do you think pat robertson is still praying for chavez's swift assassination? he doesn't strike me as a man likely to rescind that sort of statement, but one never knows.

maybe the international community is inexplicably siding with the reprehensible rhetoric of repent america. or are things that stupid only bought into by our own citizens?

Those crazy ass christians really scare me. To think these people are gaining power in the United State of America. We are not a theocracy and should never be one or else we will wind up 3rd world status and back in the dark ages.

Sorry about the rant there. I do think Pat Robertson is secretly wishing/praying death on Chavez.

The Christian Coalition needs someone to blame for this tragedy, so they blame the gays and the "sin" of New Orleans for what has happened. It's people like the the CC and Pat Robertson that are going to bring this country down and most people don't really care because they are "good" christian folks.

I fear for the future of this country :-(.
