official US government comment on international assistance
Just to provide my humble American opinion...you have to understand that these people were told to evacuate their homes and the city of New Orleans two days before the Hurricane hit the city...the people that stayed either claim to have had no way to get out, or they simply refused to leave and chose to risk it themselves..
..that evacuation was all that could have been done in preparation of this disaster, weather is not predictable people...and neither is the damage that it causes...
our president, our government, our weather channels, no one had any idea how bad the cities would be hit...it wasn't until after all had been done and the weather died down that they could see the damage, they could then see what the hurricane left behind...
Only then, yes a little too late, were they able to begin raising money and calling in help...but they did get help and they did it all as quick as they could...
As some of you already pointed out, this isn't a blame game anyway, this is about those people that need assistance...whether it be American or UK assistance, it doesn't matter...it's for the people in need...it's all about the people in need!
