yesterday japan had that earth quake, and then the huge tsunami that actually did most of the damage. america's on the brink of financial collapse, but obviously we're going to send aid to japan, right? so i thought about it and the worst natural disaster america has had in my life time that i could think of was hurricane katrina. i figured i'd see who helped us out, because if no one helped us, why should we always be helping everyone else?, especially when we look at our owfinances as a nation. having just turned 13 when katrina hit, and being before the huge financial crisis in 2008, i really didn't pay attention back then.

thats the list of of countries that sent aid to america to help hurricane katrina victims a few years back, or at least offered it. you've got afghanistan, iraq, iran, cuba offered a huge amount of aid which we rejected, and tons of countries which would generally be considered "third world countries", all offered to help the global super power america.
i just think its especially strange that people that we drop bombs on, or are not on good terms with at all are still willing to offer or send us money and supplies when we have a huge disaster.
obviously now that iv'e seen the list i'm totally ok with our government sending help to japan considering whats happened. i just think it speaks volumes about the human race as a whole.
