Who do they believe funds that worthless piece of garbage called the UN?? I am getting fed up with people attacking my country, we give more than any other country and we do it year after year!! Many of these area's are predominately Muslim, I have yet to hear of the Middle East reaching out with all of it's oil wealth.

I'd bet Bush will be addressing the country at some point in the next day or so.

I love how Yahoo left out the most important comments made by Egeland (from Washington Times) But U.N. Undersecretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Jan Egeland suggested that the United States and other Western nations were being "stingy" with relief funds, saying there would be more available if taxes were raised....adding that politicians in the United States and Europe "believe that they are really burdening the taxpayers too much, and the taxpayers want to give less. It's not true. They want to give more."

We should give as much as to the UN as the UN gave us after the hurricanes we experienced earlier this year.

Should be aeronautical, then. ;-)

Let's just turn the UN into an insane asylum.

What did Sri Lanka do for us after 9/11 anyway!

If I remember correctly, Muslims from that part of the world joined their brothers everywhere in revelry and celebration of the deaths of over 3000 American citizens at the hands of their Muslim brothers.

Even the Muslims of Patterson and Newark NJ were celebrating.

I know, because my brother-in-law is a Newark policeman who saw it first-hand.
