This statement is a bit unfair, Nostron. Where are you getting your facts from? As well as condolences, Australia has offered to send a squad of firefighters to the US. The US has at this stage decided to use its own resources to handle the rescue work. NATO has said that an attack on the US is an attack on all member nations and has pledged their resources to assist in any military action that may be required. The British have said that they are ready to assist in any means possible and knowing the British they would have no hesitation in sending people over to assist.
The United States takes great pride in its self-sufficiency, infrastructure and ability to cope with adversity standing on its own two feet. I think this is the reason you don't see physical assistance from other countries in New York and Washington, rather than any lack of caring from the part of America's allies.
