CNN.com - Castro: U.S. hasn't responded to Katrina offer -

"Castro, a longtime adversary of the United States, initially offered to send 1,100 doctors and at least 26 tons of supplies and equipment, but the Communist leader announced Sunday during a televised speech that he had increased the number of physicians to 1,586. Each doctor would carry about 27 pounds of medicine.

'You could all be there right now lending your services, but 48 hours have passed since we made this offer, and we have received absolutely no response,' Castro said at Havana's Palace of the Revolution"


Dunno if Castro is an adversary. After all, Cuba hasn't tried to invade the US, even if it has been the brunt of a brutal economic embargo.

But here you go: the offer from Cuba to sends lots of doctors. Let's face it: doctors in the states would not make this offer to Cuba. They don't even make house calls! But the Cuban doctors were ready to go and to save lives in the name of "humanity". And Dubya and Condi turned them down, didn't even pick up the phone. How shameful!
