Reportedly 90 or more countries have offered aid to the U.S. in the wake of Katrina. A few countries apparently are complaining that U. S. red tape is slowing their response:

Honestly now! U. S. citizens have died and are dying; thousands are homeless, without medical care, and so on. Plus there's a Supreme Court funeral to go to. Officials are busy! I'm sure the U.S. government will, as soon as it sees fit, get started on the paperwork and approvals necessary to allow some of this stuff from overseas to enter the country. In the meantime the supplies, water purification plants, nurses, doctors, and other things that have been offered are just going to have to wait, I guess. I mean, there must been room in Europe, South America, and Asia for the goods and people to sit and wait, right?
