As of last check, the nations mentioned by the State Department include:
Afghanistan, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, the Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada, Chile, People's Republic of China, Colombia, Cuba, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Djibouti, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, the European Union, Finland, France, Gabon, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Republic of Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, South Korea, Kosovo, Kuwait, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, Mongolia, Nepal, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Paraguay, Peru, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan (Republic of China), Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom.

I’m not so naïve to think that all of these countries offered their support without at least the hope of some type of return from the United States, but I do believe that it was big of them to even offer instead of just giving the big bullies here the even bigger F-YOU. It isn’t news that our relations with countries including but not limited to Cuba, France, Germany, Russia, and the entire Middle East have been strained to extreme proportions. Still, these countries were willing to offer us assistance in one form or another in our time of need.

Furthermore, many poor and or struggling nations have donated support to the extreme limits of their ability and sometimes further. El Salvador is in horrible financial straights, but offered troops that are of extreme value to them on their home front. India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Thailand are fighting to recover from the Tsunami in December. Nicaragua is finally up and moving from their war, and Kosovo is still looking to even become a country after their devastating war. Kenya, as much in need of aid as nearly any country out there pledged $100,000 in aid.

Naturally, I have to disagree with something. We have basically bankrupted Cuba, not without cause, but we’ve done it. Even when you look at what Fidel Castro has to gain by trying to get on our good side, which isn’t his usual style, I’m most impressed with his offer of support. Even more surprising to me was a moment of silence observed in the Cuban National Assembly, reportedly at the request of President Castro himself. While Cuba has a hugely successful system of hurricane preparedness and response, they chose not to even rub our noses in our failures. I am personally ashamed of the response to Cuba’s offer of support that has been reported. I’m not saying we have to kiss President Castro’s socialist rear end, or necessarily even accept, but I do think such a gesture warrants a polite response. Perhaps something more on the order of “We appreciate your generous offer, especially in light of our differences. Currently we do not believe we will need to accept your offer, but we thank you for this noble gesture.” Failing that, how about “Not right now, but thank you for showing your support.” As our government does, I think the Cuban people need freedom. On the other hand, I don’t think being obnoxious and disrespectful is remotely acceptable in the circumstances.

Now I never thought I would have to say this:
I would like to apologize to the people of Cuba, the government of Cuba, and President Castro himself for the vulgarity of our response. In our time of need, Cuba has shown that they are able to rise above the differences and conflicts between our nations and show the true generosity that I have always seen from her sons and daughters.

In addition:
As a representative of this site and a patriotic citizen of the United States, I would like to thank everyone who has offered support and assistance for this great tragedy. These thanks go out to not only nations great and small, but each individual, business, and agency that has pledged their money, products, or services to rebuilding the Gulf region.

There are many stories of people who have gone way above and beyond to alleviate the suffering felt in the affected areas, and I encourage you to read those stories. Honor the people who are committed to healing the wounds left by Katrina first and forever. Do not let the shadow of blame and accusation obscure the innocent luminaries, and never lose sight of the truth.

Now remember this day, I don’t eat crow very often.
