Is Anyone Surprised That No Other Countries Have Weighed In On This Gulf Gusher?......

Here's what I'm talking about. When there is a disaster anywhere in the world - the U.S. responds with aid, money and support. This disaster in the Gulf is a U.S. disaster and I'm just shocked that we haven't really heard anything from heads of state of other countries offering any support to help the U.S. in this time of need.

Surely there are countries out there around the North Sea as well as the UK that have knowledgeable people that might be able to help. Why haven't we heard from them?

What about the Mideast countries that have all the oil? Saudi Arabia, etc. I know they have no experience with offshore deep sea oil rigs - but surely they have knowledgeable people working for them that could potentially help.

This disaster has global implications. One would think that our foreign allies should be there offering some sort of support to the U.S.

Now I'll give you this - I haven't read everything about this disaster and maybe some countries have weighed in. If so - and anyone knows - please post that here. Thanks.
