Jesus would wholeheartedly approve of anything we as individuals and as a country do to help these suffering people.

Yes he would. Too bad others can't realize that.

It is not necessarily "unchristian" to oppose the US's giving aid to foreign countries. I give a great deal of my money to charity and I think that's what everyone should do. If i could keep more of my money from the clutches of the the IRS, I would give even more away. One, I don't believe the government has a right to confiscate my money and donate it on my behalf anymore than I have a right to pick someone's pocket and donate that money to my church; two, I have more confidence that an organization such as the Salvation Army will fritter away less of the donated money than will the US government.
