So the United States doesn't have to stand alone. Barry Schweid (AP) reports via WWLTV.com that Rice says all hurricane aid offers from other countries will be accepted. That's good news!
Nevertheless, I like Bush's very American attitude:
Still, Bush told ABC-TV: "I'm not expecting much from foreign nations because we hadn't asked for it. I do expect a lot of sympathy and perhaps some will send cash dollars. But this country's going to rise up and take care of it."
"You know," he said, "we would love help, but we're going to take care of our own business as well, and there's no doubt in my mind we'll succeed. And there's no doubt in my mind, as I sit here talking to you, that New Orleans is going to rise up again as a great city."
It's not that we can't deal with this on our own, but it's always good to know that we don't have to.
we'll take help from those who are sincere in the offer. LOL
