The international community, as well as the UN have offered help.  Venezuela was one of the first to offer help. There was a story 3 days ago about Canada having a plane with supplies and personnel sitting on a tarmac, ready to fly, but the US declined the offer and would not give permission for the plane to enter our country. The US government has declined all offers of international help and has said (even in the tidbit Malkin posted) that they have made no decision about how these offers might be used.  They can't figure out how to use international help?  No surprise, here, considering their mantra is to go it alone, no matter what.  

I've been disgusted with my government, since Georgie boy took office.  Now, however, I'm so angry the only time I get relief from that emotion is when I'm sleeping.
