1. Propaganda against the US?

Most probable. Another DUer came up with another idea. It's like the guy who beats up his wife and kids but wants everybody to stay out of his business, even those who offer to provide help to his battered wife and kids.

3. Here is what the Canadian government was told:

"We've said to the Americans, 'Look, whether it's water purification or General Hillier talking to General Myers in the United States, sending personnel, equipment or whatever is required, we have said to the Americans we will provide it," said Martin.

"The Americans have said to us, 'Listen we're not in a position to take this. We have to set up coordinating bodies.' Once they are set up, we will be able to do it. But for us just to land there in the midst of a lot of chaos really wouldn't do anybody any good.

Meanwhile, three Canadian warships are preparing to head to the region.

Defence Minister Bill Graham said Friday the ships were being packed with relief supplies and emergency equipment in case the U.S. asks for help."
