Well, so far Jesse Jackson convinced Hugo Chavez to sell cheap oil directly
to poor people right at the Citgo refinery, but that's just political
posturing to take advantage of the Robertson brouhaha, and is essentially
meaningless.

Other than that, you'll hear kind words from the PMs of the UK and
Australia and if they have some specialized equipment that will help,
they'll send it.

That is all that's likely to happen. Perhaps our own government will bring
that big hospital ship over to the coast and treat our citizens, but I
wouldn't count on that either.
