I don't really want help from other nations, mostly because we'll just get grief over it in the future.....we don't really need it....and on a related note, we shouldn't give assistance to other nations expecting anything in return anyway.
BUT..... It would be nice to at least hear an offer from SOMEONE, since we HAVE been the world's piggy bank, police force, and babysitter for the past few decades. It would be a nice gesture.... but....
I'm not going to hold my breath.
