This shows how little America supported the tsunami victims compared to the rest of the world.

Yet America can spend billions on Iraq. The reason has to be oil.

At the same time, America couldn't help New Orleans.

What a sad nation. It's time to put aside your patriotism.

It's time to put aside Bush.

I don't see why - if anything, the graph that Stang has linked overstates the US contribution because it adds the two-thirds of Tsunami aid that has not materialized to the one-third that the US actually sent.

As for slander, well, maybe - but that's politics.

It's not time to put Bush away, Stang. His whole invasion was just an "experiment". Just like your little experiment, except on a larger scale. Dont be so uptight.

That's because the US is sending $$ to other 3rd world nations for varieties of reasons other than tsunamis....we also spend and have spent billions protecting Europe, including Australia and Japan, from the dreaded Russian/Chinese invasion that never came...think outside the box, STANG, and you may just "get it".....🙄

That was quite a while back. The world has changed since then and will change even more so over the next 50 to 100 years. Bush is a liability.

I have lived and traveled with our Asian friends, as I have with American friends.

Bush promotes violence as a solution over alternatives.

Unless alternatives are pursued, violence will escalate.

It's fine for you to tell me about China. However, I am extremely concerned about America's attitude, as a nation, and WMD's.

Have you thought about how people in other nations must feel about the future ?

Bush is your liability.

Hell yeah.
I'm Scottish though.
But we watch it too.

EDIT: Not as good as the A-team though, that's the best TV series (besides Seinfeld) ever to have been made.
