According to today's news, Indonesians are "angry" at the US for not responding quickly enough with enough aid to help them recover from the most recent disaster (the earthquake) in an unbroken series of disasters.
Excuse me? Angry because we have not gone once again to save their sorry butts from the results of their government's corruption, incompetence, illiteracy, and criminality? When did we become responsible for their mess of a country? Apparently I didn't get the memo.
Well put!
"Bite me. I am utterly sick to death of the nations of the world with their hand out, and when we put something in it, it's never enough."
We saw the same thing in New Orleans. The third world is all over the world.
source?
Typical reaction from the unwashed masses ...
Gimme, gimme, gimme, when they aren't chanting "Death to America" ...
I want to be put in charge of foreign aid!!
By the way..anybody know who sent aid to us for Katrina??
If you have nothing coherent to post, then don't post at all. If your idiosyncratic post means something to you, then post something comprehensible so that it means something to someone else.
This story was on radio news 12 hours ago. This is hardly fresh nor is it particularly limited knowledge.
Osama's their man and Allah's their god. Where's the mighty navy that goes with that combo? Malaysians should be asking that question. The USA- every third world country's spitoon....until they need a handout, then we're their piggy bank.
OTOH,your caring,wealthy muslim brothers and sisters (well maybe not the sisters) will come through for you!
Why dont we just leave them?
"Why don't they turn to Mecca for help?"
Yes, why haven't their muslem brethens turned up to help?
50 posts and no link...
Does the United States have to pay for every disaster now?
The world has taken advantage of our charity long enough.
To put it succinctly -- tough t*tty!
A BS story I guess.
"Canada, Russia, Japan, France, Germany, Britain, China, Australia, Jamaica, Honduras, Greece, Venezuela, the Organization of American States, NATO, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Mexico, South Korea, Israel and the United Arab Emirates."

Do we have a source on this?
I like to save my outrage for real stories.
No - No source. Which would be nice.
