What is that about $300,000 per country? Sounds like a real spit-ance to me.

Say, aren't the UN and the EU on just smarmy terms? Why isn't the UN riding the EU's a$$? Oh that's right. The USA and Australia are the worlds two biggest givers of aid. Better hammer us first for more right? I am convinced that the UN is just a home for hippocrits.

Damn Europeans,they're waiting for us to pick up the tab just like the AIDS crisis in Africa.

I,personally,will donate to a fund that is working in the ravaged area. I assume most people will.

Leave my tax dollars alone,Europe. We will do what we can do.

U.S. to send Millions to Tsunami Nations . . . Photo Below Shows How Much of the World Responded to our Sept. 11 Disaster

We should not send another dime. We gave more money in foreign aid and humanitarian assistance to nations who hate us than all the other nations of the world combined. All this "aid" does is feed terrorist organizations.

Most of it will be in wine, since they can't sell it.

I say we should.

Read your own tagline. George W. Bush represents the American people, and we all have "hearts of gold" when it comes to helping the suffering.

The United States has nothing to be defensive about. Egeland and the UN can go pound sand.

When my liberal friends tell me how much the world hates the US I tell them that I will start worrying about their feelings as soon as they start sending back the foreign aid checks.

Charitable giving in the US 2003: 240 BILLION
60% of food aid to the world comes from US
15 BILLION to fight aides in Africa

I could go on...
