"The offer is the largest known put forward since the hurricane ravaged Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama and follows a $100 million aid donation from the emir of a Mideast neighbor, Qatar."
I hope they wire it today.

And in other news, wealthy Saudi princes donate tens of millions to Al Qaeda, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, etc.

Yeah, but I wonder where it's going...
I doubt they would send it to the Salvation Army or Red Cross, being that these aren't Mohammedan organizations.
Will the cash go to Mohammedan/Wahhabist "relief" agencies?
Will CAIR type org. now involve itself in the Katrina operations?
Just like the money from Qatar, I would watch where it goes, because they have an agenda.

For all you Wal Mart bashers out there, Wal Mart gave 17 million dollars, not counting what was looted out of their New Orleans stores.

This should also forever end the question over whether the Kuwaitis are grateful for the liberation of their country in the First Gulf War.
Kuwait may be rich, but they're a tiny country. This is a significant donation for them (including the oil!),

Kuwait and Qater have stepped up to the plate.
Kuwait has good reason. So would France, Germany, Poland, England, Italy... the list goes on.

The Kuwaitis will probably give it straight to the Red Cross (remember, they have their sister organization, the Red Crescent, in the ME) or straight to Washington. Remember, the Kuwaitis are *far* more secular than the Saudis. I don't believe that there were any Kuwaitis among the Sept 11 attack crews and it is extremely, extremely rare to find a Kuwaiti in a terrorist organization. They don't even like the Palestinians.
Take a look at how Kuwait distributes the oil wealth, and you'll see why they have generated no terrorists.
