exactly, (i just didnt want to sound like a snot
)
there are americans in other states that would like to help.
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.
