The New York Times sets the record straight today (December 30, 2004) on the sorry state of US foreign aid in its lead editorial, Are We Stingy? Yes.

Be gone you moronic troll

[JudyinCanada]

Well, seeing that it isn't that much, you may as well withhold it.

You've got to be kidding! American people will pour in millions of dollars. I dont want the govt to pay a dime.

[Texasforever]

You won't be here long but it is past time that these countries use their resources to take care of themselves. Full stop.

Liberals think its ALL about money. I have news for them. My compassion is not measured or limited by the size of my wallet.

[Snapple]

I agree. Perhaps those faith-based initiatives are a better way to use the money.

Often "aid" comes right back to American companies.

Go pound sand up your arse, moonbat. Ans just remember not to pull up to any Alabama gas pumps if you see a burly guy with horns on his helmet. It'll be me - and I want to have a little discussion with you. One on one.

Must be the polluted water in Alabama

[snarks_when_bored]

When the owners, board members, editors, and writers of the New York Times publish their salaries and charitable contributions, I'll be better able to judge whether this editorial is fair criticism of the US or hypocritical BS.

[eddie willers]

I dont want the govt to pay a dime.

Agreed.

As Davy Crockett said, "It's not yours to give."

[SmithL]

Thank you for sharing that.

Victims of the earthquake in Bam, Iran, a year ago are still living in tents because....

they live in a culture that does not seem to support study of concepts like engineering and seismology - and because they live in a geologic hot zone that is prone to substantial earthquakes on a regular basis.

 

Mr. Bush said yesterday that the $35 million we've now pledged "is only the beginning" of the United States' recovery effort.

How in the world could it have been interpreted by any sentient being as other than "only the beginning"? As he spoke the surveys of damage and casualties were just beginning. Those who wish to criticize the president for not establishing an accurate and final estimate of the required relief roughly 48 hours after the disaster - have an obligation to name the precise figure that they believe is knowable and have themselves judged by the accuracy of that number. Otherwise, we would have to believe that they are the bitching, carping, whiners who simply do not like the Bush administration and will use any excuse, even this tragedy, to criticize them.

Sooooooo, what say you about this?

[axes_of_weezles]

How much is your Alabama Fudge Packing Union going to give?

[Texasforever]

Often "aid" comes right back to American companies.

If you mean American companies that are providing relief services in infrastructure rebuilding so what?

[lwoodham]

Please don't knock Alabama. We voted by nearly 70% for Bush. This guy is a jerk and should have been partial birth aborted.

Liberals are with money as monkeys are with feces. The scream, jump around and throw it everywhere. It is their nature.
