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.

Date: 2005-09-03 04:30 pm (UTC)There seems to be a good deal of bureaucratic mixups going on in this case. Lots of stuffed suits that don't want to be the one who didn't follow the rules and let something bad happen, so they fail to let something good happen. One teenager actually hotwired a schoolbus and took a busload of trapped people to the astrodome. The bureaucrats there turned him away because he wasn't on their schedule. Guess I shouldn't expect better.
