What is your take on the recent news? From EU countries opening up their emergency oil reserves, to universities abroad offering to take in hundreds NO students for the winter quarter?
Yes, some countries that the US has helped in the past are simply unable to help because they are too poor themselves (Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka etc), but I never doubted that those countries who can, will. |

My take is that I was wrong. In this case, I'm happy I was.

While it's true that anti-American bigotry and hatred is rampant around the world, it's hard to maintain such hateful and bigoted ideas when confronted by images of actual human beings suffering.
I'm not surprised at the offers of help from others around the world. We're all human after all - and perhaps this will remind at least some around the world of that simple fact. |

Maybe they will realise that even though they do this, they can still rely on the rest of the world to have compassion for ordinary Americans in times of suffering, its called humanity and a little bit goes a long way.
