So true. This makes my blood boil and I'm not even American. I posted it earlier on another thread...go ahead and help, but don't expect any thanks for it. I must admit, though, I didn't expect America to be insulted, and so quickly.
This reminds me of tactics used by spoiled teenagers. They complain no matter what they receive in hopes of receiving more, and they usually do. Rather, America should withdraw their current offer until they receive an apology, and a promise from the useless UN to be darn grateful for every penny received.
Anyway, how much money should anyone expect from "The Great Satan"?
"America should withdraw their current offer until they receive an apology, and a promise from the useless UN to be darn grateful for every penny received. "
- Unfortunately it is the people in the distaster hit area who would be hurt by the US withdrawal of their offer of aid not the UN.
The "GREAT NATIONS" of the World respond "IMMEDIATELY!"
America, Canada, Australia, Great Britian, & a Few Others IMMEDIATELY send Aid & Money, (Do we see a Pattern of "Donors," There??)
The Rest of the "World" WAITS for a "Cry for Help!!"
By the Time the "UN" is involved, the "Disaster" is, usually, WELL UNDER CONTROL by the Intervention of the "English-Speaking Peoples!"
In MOST "Disasters," the "GREAT PEOPLES" of AMERICA, ENGLAND, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, & Other Nations who "OPERATE on the Princilples of our Culture" Respond to the NEEDS of the "Victims!"
"Political Considerations" are IRRELEVANT; HUMAN NEED is the ONLY "Criterion!"
To call the "Response" to a Human Tragedy by ANY of the "GREAT SOCIETIES," "Stingy," is a MONUMENTALLY IGNORANT INSULT!!
I GUARANTEE that there are MORE "American," "Canadian," "British," "Australian,""Irish,""Welsh,""Scottish,""BURMUDEAN" Rescuers & Aid Workers at the Sites of Disaster in the South China Sea than Representatives of ANY OTHER CULTURES!!
"Stingy" Notwithstanding, there will be "Virtually NO 'Islamic Rescuers'" in "The Mix!"
The "UN" has NO BUSINESS "Judging" the Response to this Disaster.
ONLY the "English-Speaking 'Great Nations'" will respond in a "Timely Manner!"
The Rest of the "UN" will "Sit Aroung with their Thumbs +p their Collective +sses" & "Debate 'What to DO!!"
"STINGY!;--While the UN "Fiddles," the "Great Hatiions" ACT!!
The "UN" has become IRRELEVANT!!
"KOFI, et al" have been permitted to STEAL ENOUGH!
The "English-Speaking Nations" have Developed a "Block" whose Moral "Base" EXCEEDS the "Best of" the "UN!"
The 'UN' CANNOT MEET the "Standards of" the "Great Nations!"
It's Time that the "UN" acknowleged It's Failings; It's Time that the UN DECIDED if it will be a "Force For Good," or an IRRELEVANT "Debating Society," Used by Amoral "Psuedo-politicians" to Prevent the Alleviation of Human Suffering!
The GREAT, English-Speaking Societies have "Set the EXAMPLE;--can the "UN" Evolve??"
Doc
We'll just grit our collective teeth and do what needs to be done. I AM getting real tired of this turd-world crap, though.
