Do you think US will accept Castro's offer of aid?
"Castro, in a televised meeting with the doctors, said the United States had not responded to his offer to send medical workers and 26 tonnes of supplies to the devastated U.S. Gulf Coast."

Do you think the US should accept his offer? Better yet, do you think the US will accept his offer?

4. Yeah, where are these American corporations
that are profiting handsomely from the Iraqi debacle? Oh that's right they're under contract to help out in NOLA thereby becoming more profitable.

5. What disgusts me is that Wolf and this woman are NOT saying
when these offers were made which was not just today or yesterday but shortly after the hurricane hit, like the 31st of August and the bush admin did NOT accept any at that time.

It is not just the bush admin and it's followers that are xenophobic, the US media is as well.
