Iran, Cuba offer help

[Habu]

If I were Bush I would let call Cuba's bluff and accept every one of those doctors.

I would bring them the the US and place them with the hurricane relief agencies and let them help. And after the mess is cleared up I would tour them around the US and offer them instant citizenship.

After all where else can you get 1500 trained docters willing to to relief work for free?

What a great bonus that would be.

Of course then next time a hurrican hits Cuba all hell would break loose but that is Castro's problem.

We`ll struggle by somway.

Ha, I thought the same thing about American "assistance". All the money we got from the US went on destruction of our ecomonics and defence.

BTW, Russian Emercom never, never takes any money for assistance or materials. Maybe it's hard for you to understand, but it's the way we live here. And they never think like "We were at war with Turkey for 200 years, and they deployed American ballistic missiles aimed at us, so we'll not help them after the earthquake".

I work in the industry, you would not BELEIVE the red tape required for an MD to practise in the USA. It is simply called "credentialing" but my employer has an entire department set up where folks work full time just to get the RNs CRNAs and MDs eligible to work at a hospital. We had one applicant who was here legally from Mexico who had been a practising MD there for over 20 years, he is not able to work in our hospitals as anything more than an RN. I'd expect a Cuban MD to qualify for janitor with this system.

shrewd, would be to say 'yes' and accomplish something the cia has failed to do on numerous occasions, taking fidel out with a massive coronary.

   Gosh I`m so terribly sorry.
Let me break out the ole violin and play a quick session of My Heart Bleeds For You.
  I mean what were we thinking sending all that monetary support and grain to feed the people of mother Russia when at the time they couldn`t pour pee out of a boot with directions wrote on the bottom in big block letters?
  How dare we.

  Yea, there`s always some good that comes out of every situation.

That's pretty good... Soviet russia had no part in it's own inevitable economic colapse?
