Besides if the US government or media can critize other nations for their obstenance when it comes to humanitarian aid after a disaster, they should expect the rest of the world to feel the same way now that they are doining exactly that: being a little obstinate when it comes to aid - and primarily (i feel) for political reasons: to admit aid and people from many countries would be the same as admitting that the government failed somehow and/or that the government needs help - either one weakens confidence in the government.

Again, the US is not a third world country without resources. The US did have the resources to provide disaster-relief so I'm not sure what your point is since you keep bringing this up. In fact, it was a concern that officials didn't use the resources properly.
To bring in Cubans, Canadians, people from all over would not only be unnecessary (we had the resources) but also a logistics nightmare.
I'm not sure what you're talking about with the US criticizing other countries after disasters really, but it seems as if you are using this to elbow America.
