Solomon Islanders ask why USA will not help

Solomon Islanders, trying to recover from the devastation of the April 2, 2007 tsunami, very reasonably ask why America will not help in their tragedy.

After all, Solomon Islanders helped the USA in WWII, and even saved the life of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Fair is fair, is it not?

Update: The USA is helping with relief aid. Good on you, USA!
