So why doesn't this hit all the news channels and networks, along with the other countries that have already contributed? The only thing I heard on the news was on National Public Radio, about Australia, Japan, and Sri Lanka sending money and assistance. While Sri Lanka's donation was small, the government asked that Sri Lankans residing in the US help in any way that they can.

there are a LOT of nations (30 at last count i think) that have given something. unfortunately, our media for whatever leftist reason they have, doesn't talk about it much, if at all.

I even heard that Castrol from Cuba is willing to lend 1100 doctors and 25 million lbs of medicine to help the relief effort...
