FEMA to Russia: Don't send aid!
MOSCOW (AP) The U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency has rejected a Russian offer to send rescue teams and other aid in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, a Russian emergency official said Thursday.

Russia offered to send two transport planes with rescue teams, helicopters and other equipment to help deal with Katrina's aftermath.

2. Bush is probably afraid that it is really a cover for an invasion
This whole situation suggests that we are weak.

If they just wanted to invade, they would be using paratroopers dropped from civillian 747's...

6. This makes me so sad
Something as simple as this could help relations, but we got to be too damn "hardcore" for help.

14. "They're animals, anyway, so let them lose their souls."
FEMA should adopt Ain't Too Proud to Beg as their new theme song. Seriously.
