The numbers are from 1997 (cited in the fact book). They do not include the recent commitment to Africa for AIDS.

Also, these numbers probably don't include investment by individual agencies. I work at a small government agency that provides development capital to emerging markets and in 2003, we provided close to $2 billion. As we are one of the smallest agencies, I can't see how these numbers are correct.

Very possibly Hoodlum but I'm sure that other countries have the same anomalies.

Again I'm in no way suggesting that the US is not generous and compassionate but the idea that generosity or compassion is a uniquely American trait is wrong
