Why after the tsunami in Indonesia, were the people screaming "where is the USA to help us?!"?

Because they can't take care of themselves.

Wrong beach. America's involvement started in Hawaii.

Whenever there is a need in a country from disasters the United States is there to lend a hand in whatever possible way. So, it is too much to count.

not anymore.\nreasons:\n1. we got our own problems with Katrina.\n2. All the other countries hate us now so we don't want to help them anymore since they will hate us even more and try to kill us.

I basically asked the same question.....well, sort of, about the US. \n\nPeople HAVE become lethargic.

The US already messed up their countries, so the US owes them. That's why they go there. \n\nYou should learn more compassion and understanding. It was just luck you happened to be born in America. You could have just as easily been put in Afghanistan, Iraq, Rwanda or any other terrifying and war-torn country.  \n\nYou are not superior to these people. Plus these people don't only go to America, many go to Canada and Western European countries for freedom and a good economy. In case you didn't notice, America isn't the greatest country to live in. There is lots of violence, pollution and prejudice. \n\nDon't harp on other people until you're perfect, which will probably never happen with the mind set that you have.

NO DOUBT .. America is doomed.. b/c Wise men have told us that when God makes a man or a nation mad, it is a sign of His will to destroy them NO TEARS for that. But the tragedy is that when it falls, it won't be alone, it will take others >> Iraq is the first nation & Iran will follow pronto.

sukey, we are d*mned if we do and d*mned if we don't! I am all for The United States of America staying out of other countries messes. It would save us a fortune and they could all see just what things would be like without our help. Maybe they are right and they can handle it all themselves, but I sure know that we have been called on to help other many times and we get slapped in the face after it is all over. Fortunately we know what kind of country this is and what kind of people we are, so their nasty little comments don't have the affect they hope will happen. \n\nS.S.

they were given a warning to evacuate the area the stubborn ones chose to stay behind and not heed the warning. Even the rescuers were taken fire from the supposed victims when they were not lifted first. If this had taken place in a diff. part of the country this wouldn't be an issue. If that were the case did you immediately jump on the first plane out to all the other countries when they were stricken with a natural disaster to help them out?

Oh my lord I knew it wasn't the truth.When I first seen the towers go down they went down as if there had been a demolition crew sent there to make sure it went straight down.What are we suppose to do as americans.We only have the truth that the government wants us to have.I have a deep ache in my heart for all the innocent lives lost not only here but those still being killed in Iraq.Why can't we have peace and love back in our lives.I have to go now need to go hug my husband and my mom.

in a childhood fairytale,there was a boy who cried wolf.he'd go out and yell "wolf" to get the attention of the villagers. one day after he called out too many times with need of help, there was a wolf. He shouted out as before"wolf", this time no body came. \n i guess they'd heard it shouted when there wasn't a need toomany times, they didn't understand when the boy was in trouble.\n  your question was how does it apply to the u.s.,no?\nhere's some wolf cries\nsarrs  panademic\nkorea nuclear arms\niraq weapons of mass destruction\niran neculear build up\nbird flu\ngerman measles\nnew strain of chicken pox\nhiv/aids\ni didn't say these situations were not important events to concider. i'm just trying to remind you all, we live in a World wide community. It's not up to our country to go around like bullies or hmo's of the earth. If we allow the e.u. to delegate the authority given to it, maybe we wouldn't have to question quite as much as to where we had to stand. then we could take care of our own.

The May 1, Illegal Rally was the day America woke up!\n\nThe backlash was phenomenal!  Organizations like the Minutemen, Numbers USA, Fire Coalition, Grass Fire, the Patriot, and others have grown in huge numbers and are receiving lots of donations from loyal Americans.  Did you see where the Minutemen received a multi-million dollar donation to built the fence?\n\nKeep on Going, AMERICA....the movement has begun like a ripple in a pond and will continue until it reaches the power of a tsunami!

This was a true mandate. Americans finally woke up and realized that they'd been duped by the Bush administration. Unfortunately, it's too little too late. We're 'stuck in Iraq' now, and won't leave until we've sucked every drop of OIL out of that land.\nRepublicans know it. Democrats know it.\nIf that's not the case, WHY is the U.S.A. building the largest embassy in the world on a 104-acre site in downtown Baghdad, overlooking the headquarters of the 'new' Iraqi puppet government installed by the Bush administration?? Because we're there until all the OIL is gone.                       -RKO-

Very sorry for your loss! And yes lets bring them home! It was for a lie! You get these idiots who think we leave and it will get worse. NO, it is bad over there because of us being there. They DONT want us there. Over 80% say for us to leave. The terrorists are there because we are there. They Hate US! We have killed most of the children. The violence will almost stop when we leave, but ya know what will a dozen perminate bases all built, we will be there FOREVER! So many sheep that believe the president. Does'nt the people notice all the lies and corruption that has been coming down on this administration? WAKE UP!

I am sure there are several people in the world who do not know what USA is or where its located, most really dont care. What would be disturbing though is people living in USA and not knowing where it is ;-)

Shock. And what a wake up call! America had always felt it was safe and not a target. This put American's in panic mode. People felt much more vulnerable than they ever had. Yes, they supported the war after this.........but fear was rampant!
