Mexican Troops Bring Aid to Hurricane Victims

Voice of America is reporting that Mexican troops are crossing the border to bring aid to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Here's a quote:
In another development here in Texas, the Mexican army is crossing the border tobring help to New Orleans and its stranded citizens. This is the first time Mexican military troops have crossed into Texas since 1846, during the war between the United States and Mexico that resulted in Mexico losing the vast area now known as the American southwest. The Mexican soldiers will not be armed and the 35 trucks in the convoy will be loaded with blankets, water, food and mobile kitchens.

Thanks to our good neighbors on the Southern border.

I think this is wonderful. Sometimes a super power needs a little help and support, just hope fema doesn't turn them a way. That would be a big slap in the face for our neighbors.

Maybe this will shame Bush into doing his job. He did turn down Castro's offer of help. Talk about humiliating!

The Canadians are doing search and rescue operations in the small parishes around New Orleans, too. They got there five days before the US Army after traveling 2200 miles!
