She should be wherever she will get better treatment.
I'm tired of people having this Americans 1st opinion. She's a human, I'm a human, everyone is a human. That's it. Caring globally is the only thing that makes sense to me.
And no, i am not saying that America is the only country guilty of this and yes, I think the whole world should take responsibilty for everyone.

Goddess willing, we all should be. I should be in France or England or Canada. No one country can or should take up the slack for every other.

You can be as idealistic as you want. Fact is, you land where you land and go from there. Mexico needs to care for their infirm and unemployed and poor. GET REAL. I should be a fucking princess in Monaco, getting bedside morphine via a Sheldonrs look-a-like. Life isn't fair. This chick got a pretty fair deal IMHO. She could have crashed in...oh, I don't know...CHINA.

I agree. And I think we should all get a pony too.
