but there just isnt room. the damage is in a rather confined space you know.
people are giving so much blood that they are turned away and told to come back later.
The reason we go help in these kinds of situations so very often is because many countries dont have the means to deal with a disaster on their own.
We, having so many resources to draw from, should feel obligated to do what we can to help.

I'd quote everybody, but that would be a rather big post.
Here in Idaho the Red Cross is running overtime with blood donations. They dont have the staff to handle all of the people literally lining the streets to give. I had to make an appointment. I have heard of similiar conditions from all of our allies. Money is pouring in from every quarter. Thoughts, cards, flowers, and prayers are flooding NY and DC. In every Embassy, people are leaving flowers, cards, and stuffed animals. So, its a bit unfair to say that the rest of the world isn't helping.
