I'm guessing the 3 middle photos on [url=http://www.waveofdestruction.org/photos/ernestrodriguez4658.html?page=2:3229b]this[/url:3229b] page show the water receding. I'd like to see a video of it.

I heard this morning that last year 40% of all humanitarian aid given to victims of famine, civil war, and natural disasters came from the USA.

" We Americans like to think of ourselves as a generous people, but among the world's richest nations ours ranks dead last in terms of development aid as a percentage of gross national product. Still, Americans have an inflated idea of government foreign aid spending. In survey after survey, the median estimate is that foreign aid eats up 20 percent of the federal budget. The real number is about 1 percent, including both military and humanitarian aid."

And obviously this article was written before more aid was given by the US.

We all know the US gives a lot, but I think what most people are talking about is that the us has a huge economy., and relate that to aid, its not the same as other countries. I think thats what the UN guy was going for.

Anyway, I don't care. The US can give as much or as little as they want. It's your country.

I don't understand all this willy-waving about who's given what in aid money. Here in the UK I've heard lots of shit on TV and radio about how Britain's given 80 something million pounds and country "x" has only given 18 million or whatever. Who fucking cares as long as countries cough up something to help out. spank:

True, when it comes to something like this youd think anything would be appreciated, but as is always the case it turns into a cock measuring competition.

120,000 or so people dead and all people can do is point fingers about whos giving what annoy:
