Yep-a lot of Arab nations are sending aid.Saudi Arabia,Iran,the UAE etc have all pledged millions.
Good to hear it, sukhoi-3Omki. Thanks for writing!
Oh, a lot of people on FR never let the facts get in the way of one of their little fits.
A bunch of people were posting rants about their assumption that wealthy Arab countries were not sending aid. Then there was an article posted about 10 million coming from Saudi Arabia. Then people had a massive fit it was only "10 million" when Saudi Arabia "is so much wealthier than us." Then I pointed out that per capita Americans are three times wealthier than Saudis and that per person Saudi Arabia has sent more aid so far than we have (though if you factor in the operating costs of our naval ships on the way I'm sure we'd pull ahead - but the point of this isn't some microanalyzed financial competition anyway.)
It didn't seem to have much effect.
