we pay 21% of UN budget...I never said give more $ to the UN. Screw that.

That's who was complaining that they wanted more.

what, Russia and China have no planes? France, Germany?

Nothing like the heavy transports that the US has.

I know we pay more than our fair share, that's what I was talking about. I said we should send material aid proportionate to the help we've received in Iraq.

Your statement makes no sense.

how's this:

Iraq--US and new Iraqi gov't fighting terrorists

Some countries in the Tsunami-effected areas have not helped in the fight in Iraq.

Thus, US aid to those countries should be proportional to the aid we've received in that fight.

In other words, help those who have helped us...easier to understand?

material goods--can be readily used. that's good.
money--can be misappropriated, leads to corruption, that's bad.
