Dozens of countries have offered assistance. Two U.S. aircraft carrier groups were off Japan's coast and ready to provide assistance. Helicopters were flying from one of the carriers, the USS Ronald Reagan, delivering food and water in Miyagi.
Two other U.S. rescue teams of 72 personnel each and rescue dogs arrived Sunday, as did a five-dog team from Singapore.
Can somebody explain Washington, D.C.'s ability to deploy resources tout de suite to a suddenly-savaged country thirteen time zones away while it left our citizens to dehydrate on rooftops for days and days after a well-predicted earthquake?
