The U.S. and other allies can help them clean up the mess now. If the U.S. gets hit our ability to help ourselves, our allies and/or our neighbors will be severely diminished to the point that we will be using our limited remaining resources to clean our own up. Too many people have forgotten, apparently, the ripple effect impact of the 911 attacks on our infrastructure and economy. That was pissing in a hurricane by comparison. "Welcome to California"!
