I was watching CNN's Inside Politics today (no transcript up yet) and they had a panel on - someone from the Washington Post, LA Times (Ron Brownstein) and Time magazine (Karen Tumulty). They were discussing our response to the disaster and the host of the program mentioned that the UN called our response "stingy". Then the panel went on to talk about how we "fumbled" this and were basically AWOL for one day. This just really made my blood boil. What have other countries done? The Brits say over 10,000 of their citizens were on holiday in that area. It's a large tourist area for Europeans. Where's the criticism of the EU and its member nations? And do we really have to play politics at a time like this?

You signed up today just to post that?
The EU has a larger economy than the U.S. and gave $4 million, compared to the U.S.'s $35 million (or higher). The UN didn't call the EU stingy.
Oh, and yes, here's the welcoming committee:

Please, Oh Tim the enchanter, impart your post graduate wisdom on me. I'm just a poor, lowly imbecile with a B.S. in engineering.

In the liberal world, if someone points out your factual inaccuracies, you come back by saying that person just doesn't respect others' opinions.
To: Tim S; alessandrofiaschi
I guess you will only respond to one with a higher degree. That's why I've asked my friend Alessandro to join in. How about it Tim?

And I am not talking about private donations And if we factor in that, look out. Honestly, Free Republic will probably out contribute France to the relief efforts (France reportedly gave $146,000).

OMG! My 'old hippie' uncle has said that to me countless times! Do you think they teach them that response at communist school?

The figure on TV tonight is $130,000! (Somebody on the panel on Brit's show said it was probably in wine!)

No. We're just not "sensitive" to their "world view".

You sure it wasn't 130,000 franks? 'Cause that would be like ten bucks or something.

I guess you will only respond to one with a higher degree. That's why I've asked my friend Alessandro to join in. How about it Tim? Currently I've only a degree in Economics (even if I'm studying for a Ph.D.). So I'm sorry but I'm inadequate to access at his "world view".

Don't feel bad. I don't think any sane person is adequate to access his "world view".
