I was upset yesterday on CNN when they interviewed one of the local victims and he was complaining about the United States - He was saying "Where is the United States - they need to help us and give us money"
Now I'm sure he is in shock an devastated but it really upset me because no matter what we do, we are perceived as bad!

Where is the moral conviction of these countries that hate the US? How could any country that denounces our policies even be willing to ACCEPT aid from us? After all, we are an evil, imperialist nation, bent on world domination. Our money should be viewed (by them) as corrupt blood/oil money. Funny how that gets ignored when it is time to line up at the US teat......

I support aid to those who fell victim to this terrible disaster, but the hypocrisy of the world community is utterly astounding.

Sheesh, I'm beginning to think we caused the danged tsunami, the way some people are acting! It was a terrible disaster and I agree that we should help. But I for one am sick of foreigners giving us the finger with one hand, while holding the other hand out and saying, "Gimme."
