I agree.
There's a big difference between aid and rebuilding. What they need is aid. Specialized equipment, trained rescue workers, etc.
They don't need a check.

LMAO. I rarely see you posting any links in your "I'm better than you" BS fest discussions.
You want links? Ok fine:

And that is all just for Katrina. If you want to find more about other disasters you can find them yourself.
I'm not the google king by any means, but did japan come help with katrina??
A check won't fix their problem. It should not matter whom did what to whom when a catastrophic event like this happens. Volunteers will go and help where needed. Even if they did not help with Katrina. It is a hard thing to carry around such a hard heart all the time so give help to someone you normally wouldn't for a change. I promise it will make a better person out of anyone.
In the grand scheme of things a million dollars is a piss in the wind, we give Billions of dollars in aid to other countries every year.
Trust me, we will send and spend more than a couple million helping with this.
You are always on this side of these arguments. I think the OP is right. They are a strong country and can bounce back just fine. On the other hand even our ready assistance cost us millions to billions a day.
It not low of us to care that more money we do not have is being spent on a country we don't owe. You can do the bleeding heart thing if you like, but if you have a dime to your name that you have not given to someone less fortunate you are a hypocrite....
I'm sorry, but you sir have some nerve to suggest that someone leave their home country for disagreeing with you.
Last time I checked the govt takes 200 bucks a week from me that I never see, I can assume this fellow dick shares the same pain. And because of that we are entitled to an opinion on how that hard erned money is used.
I am a firm believer that someone should fix their own damn problems before they go looking to fix others.
Now If you're opinion is the opposite, then I welcome private charities for that duty.
Wether or not the USA contributes is a decision we all get to have a voice in wether it is followed or not.
Before you go telling another citizen to leave for having a different opinion than you, I suggest you remember that this country is as much his and mine as it is your's!
Japan is the largest holder of U.S. debt.
