I've been keeping an eye on the news most of the day, Ron, and while the UN, EU and other countries are busy sending doctors, medicine, sniffer dogs, warm clothing, setting up hospitals and offering money, the US response is: "The State Department was expected to spell out details of an aid package shortly, a U.S. official said." (Reuters, 3:24pm EST) Not exactly a warm response from the Bush administration. Yes, we have no diplomatic relations with Iran, but this is not diplomacy we're talking about, it's human kindness.
