德国之声/据《南德意志报》报道，美国非政府组织国家民主基金会（National Endowment for Democracy，简称NED）去年一年向国际西藏支援网（International Tibet Support Network）提供了45000美元的资助。国际西藏支援网负责组织协调了针对北京奥运会的一系列大规模抗议示威活动，其中包括奥运火炬在海外传递过程中的抗议活动。
it's incredibly unreal to see that these people are not complaining, and are just focusing on the relief effort. With 1.3 billion people like this, able to grind out the toughest and most grim situations, no wonder they will be the next super power. Can you even find 1.3 billion people like this anywhere outside of that country?
No looting. No complaining. Just people helping people in times of devastation. That's unheard of around here.
没有抢劫，没有抱怨，只有在毁灭性灾难发生之时人与人的互助。这是在这里（美国）从没被听说过的。

Imagine how the people of California will be acting after the "BIG" one hits. As in New Orleans, they will all blame the government and expect the rest of us to pay the price. Of course, the people of New Orleans WERE warned, and ignored the warnings.....we will all continue to pay the price for many years to come.
After all the bad attention China has been getting recently, I am so proud to watch as they band together to help others. China should be an example to the Myanmar government. These people are showing that, when it comes down to it, material possessions and money are nothing compared to human life.
That is absolutely amazing that the man who lost his parents, wife, AND two children can function....i can understand how he can.....and he is helping the reporters..telling the story...God Bless that man..this is such a horendous tragedy...and my prayers are with the Chinese pepole through this.
It shows drastic change in the way that Chinese government handles natural disasters. When the quake in Tangshen happened in 1976 which killed approx 250,000 people, the Chinese government blocked the news and refused for any aids from outside world. Today, the government immediately sends in soldiers and paramilitary police to rescue people and asks for international help. The prime minister Wen Jia-Bao and other local officials do not hide their high emotion toward the sufferings of the people. The Chinese government may still not be perfect under different circustances, but it should be given proper credit for trying their best to do the right things. The world should try their part to be more understanding of today's China that has traveled down a long and difficult path.
30号和31号，他两次打电话给南方松树电网公司（Southern Pines Electric Power Association ），要求他们转为抢修密西西比州科林斯附近的电站。为什么呢？因为这个电站是为 Colonial Pipeline输油管服务的。这条输油管负责从得克萨斯向美国东北部运送油品。
白宫的救援指挥部在飓风袭击的36小时后成立，并且决定“在第二天开展工作”。
8月30号，新奥尔良开始发生大范围的武装抢劫和放火行为。当一名游客向警方求助的时候，得到的答复是“你去死吧！现在都是各顾各了。”（Go to hell, it’’s every man for himself）。8月31号，1500名警察接到命令，放弃搜索幸存者，改为执行维护治安的任务。同时全程宣布宵禁。同日，女州长凯瑟琳-布兰科声称武装部队已经进入新奥尔良，并在电视上威胁说“他们对开枪和杀人很在行的。。。如果需要的话他们会的。。。”。至9月1号，已有6500名国民警卫队奉命赶到新奥尔良。9月2号，州长要求增派4万名国民警卫队参与救援和维护治安。最不可思议的是有人向救援的直升飞机和车队开枪射击。
