And the world wakes up from history...

or, Disproven Wrong.

Neil Cavuto will have to shut up now:  International aid is comming to the US.

The gist is:  Austrailia to send $7.7 million (all figures US dollars) to the American Red Cross, Japan $200,000 with $300,000 in supplies (tents, power generators, etc).  Sri Lanka, one of the countries affected in last year's tsunami, is pledging $25,000 to the Red Cross.  EU countries will be sending aid where needed, as well as NATO.

Don't forget our friends from Canada who are sending some urban rescue teams and various other aid supplies. :)

The governments of the EU are always giving aid to the International Red Cross Red Crescent. You will not find the US gov't on many aid lists. The last one I saw was a pidlin amount to Iraq from back at the beginning of the war. Nothing to Palestine or the tsunami struck countries. You'll even find Russia on more lists than the US. Canada has given all over. Thank you, Canada.
