Some countries just have an issue with nuke boats in their ports. -shrugs-

Danmark doesn't allow nukes, and it's not a left/right thing.

Exactly. I think it was the tsunami in Burma were the US offered assitance but they did not want the nuke carrier in their port. Some countries are just that way with a nuke boat. -shrugs-

Burma is run by a military junta which brings xenophobic paranoia to a whole new level, but I think their main reason for refusing assistance is that the damage occurred in areas where most of their domestic opposition lived. To the junta it's much easier just to let those folks die than allow foreign rescuers in to help them (and by extension let the outside world find out how bad it is there).
