Talk:International response to Hurricane Katrina

message: Cuba?
Are they seriously offering help? --CFIF 01:17, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
:Yes, according to U.S. State Department, see list of "Potential Donors" in this article. My take on it is that it is more about helping the poor than it is about helping the White House, and political opportunism may also play a part.--Tsaddik Dervish 02:20, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Cuba?

message: This section is woefully not NPOV.  Furthermore, a pledge is not the same thing as money in the bank.  Lots of countries pledged millions of dollars for the '04 tsunami but only delivered a small percentage of what was offered.
::: Not exactly. Read the article. It went uncollected. In other words the US decided not to accept. Mortyman (talk) 23:10, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

message: Despite their name, the NHL has teams in 2 countries, players from dozens of countries, and has fans across the world. I think they count as "International". Karmafist 14:57, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: The NHL

message: I find this article by the NY Times highly divisive. At this time, when countries are trying to help, why split them into two groups, ie, them and us. They don't mention the split. But I guess the allies include Britain, Israel and Canada, and the others include Switzerland, Cuba and New Zealand. Leistung 06:11, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe that by "others", they are referring to Cuba and Venezuela, which certainly aren't allies to the United States. The New York Times is a quality newspaper in my opinion, however, our mission here is not to analyse the state of the Fourth Estate. --Tsaddik Dervish 06:34, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  US Allies and "Others" 

message: I am afraid that we have a problem of the general term "Meal Ready to Eat" colliding with the specific US-issued "MRE". I have strong doubts that the European Union and Sweden would be issuing "self-contained meal in lightweight packaging produced by the United States of America for its soldiers in the battlefield", as the present linking pattern seems to suggest. 
for the present time, pointing these links to Combat ration rather than MRE would seem apriopriate. Rama 07:07, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: EPAs from Germany, Great Britain and Russia were officially rejected because of BSE. However the German EPAs are certified by NATO to be BSE free and are eaten by US Soldiers in Afghanistan.

thread_title:  Meal Ready to Eat (MRE) 

message: I've never seen an article that's so, well, "stuck in time..." I mean, this is written like it was a press release written during the actual storm! Wow! I don't know where to start! 24.8.162.216Max J
:That's because it was. — jdorje (talk) 16:56, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I had a go at fixing it. I changed the tense, but it does suffer from the flaw of assuming all offers were follwed through, which I'm sure they weren't. Iorek85 05:52, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
