Over 60 Countries Offer Support In Katrina Recovery As a follow-up on the Sept. 1 post wherein I noticed the world was a little quiet in their reaction to our disaster, things have changed. Bruce Kesler at the Democracy Project has an update on that, with a twist. Over 60 nations, plus many other international organizations, have lined up to offer aid to and in the United States to help alleviate the damages from Hurricane Katrina. Here’s a list. And another list. Add Kuwait’s offer that just occurred, the largest so far, of $500 million for hurricane relief. Thank You to the countries who have pledged your support and your $upport. 1:42:31 AM    comment [] trackback []
