    Castro offers medical aid to U.S.

    http://www.cnn.com/2005/WEATHER/09/03/katrina.castro/

    Latest news is that the doctors are ready to go. They are just waiting for the US gov. to say ok.

    If there is anyone left in New Orleans to be attended to...

    I wonder if they'll go by rafts made from milk cartons and tin cans via Florida?

        What have you offered in the ways of assistance to the hurricane victims so far, Winston?

          Nothing.

          BTW, the only reason Fidel Castro is offering this, is to try and make U.S. authorities look bad, since there's no way they could afford politically to accept it.

          It's just another example of someone attempting to capitalize on the tragedy for their own politcal ends.

              BS Winston.

              The US sent help to Iran after they were struck by that earthquake. If the Iranians had no problem with it,I dont see why the US would have one.

              The Cuban intention is an honorable one and the US should politely accept.

                There was lots of crap about Iran not accepting US help. This is the same situation basically. EVIL CASTRO OFFERING HELP THAT COULD SAVE THE LIVES IF CITIZENS!

                    Oh yeah? How would the U.S. go about maintaining an embargo in the aftermath, if they decided to suddenly disregard it to allow medical assistance in?

                    And - unrelated to the issue at hand, but since you mentioned it - there's nothing "honourable" about Fidel Castro. He's a despot who's had a very firm grip on Cuban balls for 46 years now. His regime is criminal and an affront to human rights.

                    He's doing this to embarras the U.S., because he knows it will be turned down.

                      Sure, why not. No one will change their opinion of such an idiotic dictator, but at least people's lives will be helped or saved.

                        Thats of course much more important than some people needing help.

                          Obviously the Cubans felt that offering help would be a good way to improve relations, like how Greece and Turkey managed to become friends in the wake of the earthquake there.

                            It is, since the Cuban offer would make little difference at this point - compared to the negative political effects of lifting the embargo.

                              My impression is the U.S. doesn't want to be friends with the current regime, so it's a bit beside the point really.
