Where were these countries to help us after 9/11 or Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Andrew, the floods in Tennesee or any other catastrophe we have? It's time for the whole planet to come together to solve this because it's already spreading and will soon be affecting all of earth's inhabitants!

It was in response to the suggestion that because it's BP (British Petroleum) the UK should clean it up. As I understand it, there have been several offers to assist batted away...
Sometimes those countries "in need" may have preferred the US didn't come and "help"
