In a politically divided (and unstable) world, some things rise far above the squabbling. The Pakistan-India quake is one such item. Pour in the aid, supplies, personnel, and equipment. Even if Pakistan and India were bitter enemies of the U.S., we shouldn’t hesitate to do everything we can. After all, we belong to the human club before we belong to the club of nations, religions, and races.
Cuba and Venezuela, despotic lands ruled by megalomaniacs, offered aid during the U.S. hurricane crises, setting a fine example. The U.S. helped Iran during the Bam quake a few years back. These are the models.
