KATRINA AND INTERNATIONAL AID

Why is that when countries from all over the world are offering to help in so many ways, that the US is simply turning them away?

Kuwait is offering $500 million in help, Qatar $100 million, third-world/developing countries such as Pakistan and India have also entertained numerious ways to help. Even countries with ill relations with the US are offering a helping hand, such as Iran offering 20 million in oil and even Venezuela and Cuba offering help!!

Yet after so much international help, the US not only has turned them down, it is specifially asking one entity for help, the EU. This makes absolutely no sense and will only prolong the anti-Americanism that is rapidly increasing in all corners of the world.
