I know that we helped ourselves so well that the officials asked people to stop sending money, supplies, and volunteers.

What I want to know is why the hell we were so quick to jump to Burma's aid EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T WANT IT, when we STILL have Katrina victims that haven't seen hide nor hair of FEMA?

If I remember right, Mexico sent some of their troops up here to help out with the clean up after the storm. (I live in the border. So, that tidbit was of enough interest to the people down here to make the news.) That was in addition to all the unofficial help that they sent in the form of illegal aliens.

A lot of countries OFFERED help: Italy, Greece, Canada, Britain, Israel, China, Bahrain, France, Taiwan, Romania. The problem was MOST WAS NOT RECLAIMEd ( a way to politely say it was refused). Many offers came from much poorer nations who wanted to help. The US Government however apparently thought they could do without the international help.
