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

Maybe I missed the news but so far I have not ready about any donations
from
your Country.

Even Sri Lanka contributed cash to the need of the Katrina victims.


Canada's offers were made public about a day after the incident. Don't
remember
exactly, but they included a bunch of special mission C-130s.

I obviously missed that....and if what you say is correct, I apologize.\

So what financial commitments were made by the Canadian government?



What did they offer, Ed?

Did we actually snub them, or did we just not have a requirement and use
for the
help yet?

Bush probably doesn't realize that Cuba is in the Caribbean, and may have a
bit of experience with hurricanes.

As of 2 Sep, according to the Secretary of State, no offer had been declined.

Which part of "communist dictator" bothers you? "Communist", or "dictator"?

"All decisions are the result of binary thinking."

Doug I have to admit that this is a very odd set of questions to me.I love
the freedoms that I have now and will fight to keep them. I won't go into my
age so much as to say that I grew up practicing "duck and cover" to save
ourselves in the event that Castro threw a bomb our way!
I was told in another post that I have no right to judge, but I am guilty
of "Having no knowledge of diversity"(thank you Ed}.I ask you now,Do you
have any issues with communists and or dictators?

Man have we really strayed from the boating thread? So here goes:
I have a 1959 lonestar that I enjoy on the Potomac river with my teenage
son. There how was that?

"All decisions are the result of binary thinking."

First of all, communism never had a chance, but I'm not about to debate
that. What I will point to is your serious inconsistency in flaming Castro,
while we do billions of dollars with China, a country which makes Cuba look
like paradise. And, remember that we ignore or sell arms to quite a few
dictators.

As it exists today, communism is nothing but a fancy name for another path
to political jobs, just like here.

Brian, i can see you lack knowledge of Diversity in your life, we may not
agree with what Castro does, but who are we to judge ? We can learn from
other cultures.
