A reader sent me this thought-provoking piece. So, do you think any foreign country did send help to the U.S.A.?
"As you know, America is the first country to send aid when other countries are in trouble.
"It is highly appropriate that we now send THANKS to all of the countries that reciprocated for our help with their disasters, misgivings, social turmoil, & poverty by sending to the United States of America monetary and physical help when Sandy ravaged our East Coast leaving dead, homelessness, and pure disaster.
"Listed below are all the Countries and World Organizations that are giving us gracious assistance. Please assist in thanking these entities by passing on this email so people all over America can join in and THANK our neighbors, to whom we have invested BILLIONS!!!!
First on the list is...
1.
"Maybe now Americans will realize that charity begins at home. With millions of our people in need and in poverty, let's save our money and spend it at home instead of sending it to Egypt, Libya, Pakistan, etc........Staten Island and parts of New Jersey would gladly thank America if we spent the billions there....."
You never know who is interested…

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Manhattan doctor Lucy Doyle has done stints with the global medical relief organization Doctors Without Borders in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Kenya. But her latest assignment is a real eye-opener: New York City.
British Red Cross has launched a Hurricane Sandy Appeal to raise funds for relief efforts
The nation of Iran, with which the United States has no formal diplomatic relations, has offered to send an emergency aid team to New York City.
The city of Toronto has offered New York City aid. And the Japanese-based Toyota corporation will donate $1 million to the American Red Cross to aid in relief efforts
France has offered aid to help the US East Coast recover from the ravages of superstorm Sandy, Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said Tuesday, expressing "total solidarity with the American people."
And, OH YES. Israelis have pitched in as well.
I hope the writer of this piece remembers to thank them.

Don't forget over 50 tons of emergency supplies of aid from Russia's EMERCOM
