What about the help that Cuba offered and we snub our noses at them and
didnt have the respect to even decline there help ? Here is a country
that
we dont like and doesnt like us,but they took the first step to offer
help.
I dont care for cuba,but I feel we should of atleast decline the offer
instead of ignoring it. Just my opinion

Just to let you know what Sr. Castro was going to do for the unfortunate
people of New Orleans and the surrounding areas. He put together 1,100 of
his Island Nation's doctors AT THE HAVANA AIRPORT, and had the aircraft
ready to send them to New Orleans. This was not just a token gesture.
He had the doctors packed and ready to go along with 65 tons of medicines
and medical supplies. Fidel has done this for many countries of South
and Central America in the past. It was a fine and generous act on behalf
of the people of Cuba. His kindness was ignored by President Bush.
