Well, yeah. They want us to leave the money beside their Islamic bed and slip out quietly.
Once the US miltary is out of the region...the Red Cross and other internationals are left to fend off the Indonesia mafia...you have to let them take a cut...either cash or food...but they demand a cut of everything. The US military simply would have laughed at them and told them to move on. We won't ahve this issue in Sri Lanka or Thailand...no such mafia types in those countries. We will be very welcomed in Thailand.
After all, it's for the children!
IMHO, this whole Clinton/Bush,Sr. fundraising thing stinks!
