Canada’s Peter Worthington Praises U.S. Aid Efforts

Finally, a “feel good” story about the United States that comes out of Canada. Hat tip to Michelle Malkin for this.

Thank goodness for the Americans. What would this world would be like without the U.S.?

Especially in times of natural disasters like the Boxing Day tsunami that killed so many and shocked the world into unprecedented humanitarian generosity.

Such generosity often seems muted. Not this time. The world’s people have responded more ardently than their governments, and in case after case governments have taken a cue from their citizens, and increased their initial aid response.

<snip>

Pledging money is vital, but it doesn’t save lives immediately. Again, that’s where the Americans shine.

The first large-scale international relief to the victims was from a U.S. warship, the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln which sent relays of a dozen helicopters loaded with relief and medical supplies into the stricken area. The U.S. military has field hospitals, and soldiers, Marines, sailors who turn instantly into social workers and bleeding-heart aid workers.

Go, boys!

    Not really a shock; I think this writer is generally pro-American. But still. Further excerpts from Michelle Malkin….
