Naturally its a horrible situation and 100's of thousands of people are w/ out homes and structure. I do agree with Jpalamar in some aspects but one of the things that makes me "Proud to be American" is when our Government jump's at the opportunity to help others (including its own of course). I think if we can, we should, its as simple as that.
