One wonders though if a event equal to this magnitude happened in North America would these countries offer the same amount of money and support? I think not.



Good point. If the same thing happened to the Atlantic coast of North America this weekend there would be no offer of aid and in fact, they'd still be demanding the 350 million plus the additional 6 mil/day the US alone is spending over there that doesn't come out of the 350 mil.
