Workers and volunteer helpers

This letter I am witting in response to Mary Hemli's disagreement
with Indonesia's request to have all aide workers and volunteer
helpers out by March. My question to you is why does it bother
you that this country wants to take care of the problem on their
own? As far as all the aid and money sent to the country to help
them out in their time of tragedy. I don't really recall the
country itself asking for aid, I can be wrong. If I am correct
it was one of the Human Rights groups and the UN the made the
request. Also it was us and other countries while thinking that
giving aid and going there to help them clean up and rebuild
etc. was what Indonesia would wanted. I again don't remember
them asking for help. So why get offended when they politely
ask anyone to leave?
Let the country mourn the dead,
let them rebuild, they have already said thank you for all the
support and help others have sent in. What more can we ask for?
