Not really sure how I feel about a wiki article, but if any of that is true, then when the US government rejected offers of help, they were doing the citizens of the US a huge disservice, not to mention refusing aid doesn't exactly show we're being very neighborly. Our government is disappointing to say the least, and I'm very disgusted that any refusals for help happened at all. But thanks for posting that link for me.
