How many countries would push $10 million worth of aircraft (1970s money) to save civilians?
I know anti-American sentiment is very trendy on HN, but I found this interesting:
Sirius Satellite Radio runs 1970's episodes of American Top 40 with Casey Casem on Sundays. A few weeks ago I was surprised to hear a spoken-word piece called "Americans" by a Canadian named Byron MacGregor was a top-40 hit. Here's a sample of the lyrics:
When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age
It was the Americans who rebuilt them
When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke
Nobody loaned them an old caboose
Both are still broke

Can you name me even one time
When someone else raced to the Americans in trouble?
I don't think there was outside help
Even during the San Francisco earthquake
