Precisely. That goes over our bigotted mentalmidgets' heads. I'm bettin'
that offers have been made. I'm also thinking I saw an article on
foreign rescue crews that offered on 9/11 and were turned down due to
our paranoia at the time (Canadian and Mexican crews). I'll have to dig
and find that. I have seen an article or two on a Mexican crew that goes
internationally. In fact, they are private and the article mentioned
they were stuck due to lack of funds on something - perhaps the tsunami
thing.
