Why the USA bashing? It seems like once again somewhere in the world, when something tragic has happened, helicopter pilots have "stepped up to the plate" and worked tirelessly, and professionally, to save hundreds. This forum is about helicopter issues isn't it? Why the constant references to US policy and politicians? If you have an issue with US policy, write to the State Dept. I'm sure given the chance we would all be there to lend a hand. Regardless of the nationality, there are a lot of people doing the best they can in extremely difficult circumstances. For every story of looting and violence, I bet you find a hundred more of ordinary people going out of there way to help someone.
