Like recipients of government aid and welfare, there is a tendency to no longer be thankful. Instead a spiteful relationship builds. Keep the goods coming and I will be who I am. Stop the goods and things will only get worse for you. So be warned.
It appears that Kashmir earthquake survivors set fire to a puppet representing President George Bush. This is the same area the received support from the US when they were in greatest needs. Read about the help given or here is a summary thanks to Michelle Malkin. What Michelle reports on reminds me of the response of many in New Orleans, despite the problems, were given the ability to start getting on their own two feet.
…U.S. Central Command has led a 63-nation relief effort in Pakistan since Oct. 10, 2005, which includes food, medical care, transportation and other types of post-disaster support.
More than 1,200 U.S. military members and 25 helicopters had been deployed to Pakistan at the peak of the relief mission, Whitman said.
About 650 U.S. service members in Pakistan continue to provide aviation, medical and engineering assistance in earthquake-affected areas, he said. And 12 U.S. CH-47 Chinook cargo helicopters continue to fly disaster relief missions in Pakistan.
To date, U.S. military aviators have flown more than 4,000 missions, delivered more than 11,000 tons of supplies, and transported more than 18,000 people as part of earthquake relief operations in Pakistan, Whitman said.
The U.S. also is donating about $6 million worth of medical, engineering and refueling equipment to the Pakistani government, Whitman said.
That assistance includes more than $3 million worth of medical equipment that’s been used in the relief effort, he said, to include a mobile surgical hospital, anesthesia apparatus, ventilators and X-ray equipment.
