We await the global response to help the people who were hit by the hurricanes in Florida.
I'm sure America's allies and global aid agencies will offer aid. It's hard for countries to offer (and the sufferer to accept) specific monetary or physical aid until the disaster has passed. I think you're being a bit too cynical there.

If that's the case, where is America's offer of aid for the bombing of the Australian Embassy in Jakarta last week? Our current government has always been quick to jump to Bush's aid but nothing has been forthcoming so far.
