Buwahaha... you would make a great businessman (or woman), wanting to funnel more and more money into defunct project (aka, the U.N.).

Just heard on the news that various Arabic media companies are blaming the earthquake on a combination of nuclear bombs, having too much sex, and gay people. I think that pretty much answers the original question.

First off your a moron. Did you lose anyone during 9/11, cause if you did you would understand how stupid and embarassing it is for someone to compare 9/11 to this natural disaster. In the aftermath of the tragic day, the United States NEVER asked for aid, hence none was really donated. As you and I and many Americans believe, we can more than take care of ourselves. This natural disaster happens to affect millions of poor third world human beings. While it is obvious you are against the Muslim culture, you should also inform yourself that in fact many of the injured are Buddists and Christian. How do you stand on this? Should we say "FVCK 'EM" to those of other faiths? Another thing. From what you have said it seems like you expect an area with a severe lack of technology to "have known better"? How the hell do you suppose people on a shore would know that a earthquake hundreds of miles away would create waves that high that quick? I delpore you for being completely ignorant.
They are all about themselves and no one else. Eventually they will commit to sending some form of aid but it will be well after it is needed. I just wonder how many scaldles will come to light about the money being given being mis-used. You know it is going to happen.
goddamnit, people have posted this every frigging time. You are a neffing freak, my god contribute something intelligent to this forum once in a while. STOP POSTING LAWN CHAIR SET UPS!
Your point being? Did I list the UAE as being a major contributers of suicide bombers? I was very specific in the countries I listed and the last time I checked, non of them are part of the UAE
Why don't you mention Russia or China and stop bringing up the M.E.
And BTW Iran still is recovering from Bam.
Egypt/Israel/Turkey all get AID from the U.S. If they had money to spend why the hell do they need AID?
Mention China who hasn't even said a word about the disaster.

Because the whole point of the post was the M.E.
Because last time I check no Russian or Chinese has ever strapped bombs to themselves in the name of protecting their people from americans. I listed the countries who WE ALL KNOW crank out the most amount of suicide bombers and in some instances, we strongly suspect those government support them. They're blowing themselves because they claim they are protecting muslims from the US. Now the point is, and listen very carefully because obviously you didn't bother to read it the first time, where are they when a fellow muslim country really do need help?
what ever, Saudi Arabia, doesnt have the money? With all that oil im sure they can pull it out of their ass somewhere.

YAY! Smores time!!
J/K... I think this has nothing to do with our ties to any single nation or who sends what or who does what. The point is that this is a world wide aid effort, and people who bicker about who's sending the most aid and who isn't sending enough are missing the whole frickin point: 100's of thousands of people are dead, millions more are homeless and in danger of dying from aftermath (disease, etc...), and the entire region needs help, not scrutiny. Even though I'm a cynical, pessimistic person, I don't see these nations who are being provided aid taking advantage of the situation. It's not like India is going to take 40 million dollars in tsunami aid money to fund some terrorist organization. I don't understand what your question (or problem) is.
And we deployed our DART (Disaster Relief Team) which costs 4 million alone just to deploy and has ridiculously high operating costs, and our gov't promised to match all public donations made to major charities.
Go Canada.. stuff like this makes me proud to be Canadian.

If the US gave all the money spent fighing for 'freedom and 'democracy' in Iraq on aid, it could irradicated third world debt.
The money it ended up contributing to the Tsunami disaster equated to a weeks worth of conflict in Iraq. Thats why the rest of the world gets annoyed at the US's contribution.
The government is happy to throw money at the wall when it comes to fighting wars and dropping bombs, but when it comes to a worthwhile cause, it faulters.
Thats why.

Sure, freeing 50 million people in Iraq and ousting a dictator is not worthwhile.
It is our money, how foolish of us to do with it what we believe is in our best interest.
exactly! if we want to support brutal regimes because it is in our interest then why not?! it's our money. So what if they slaughter their own people and suppress democracy? that just gives us an excuse to bomb them when they no longer serve our interests. woot for american foreign policy.
train the best, bomb the rest... unless those we train end up bombing us.

Oh my.
Massive thread, and probably in the wrong forum.
Anyway.
What is probably limiting the US the most in giving vast amounts (relative to GDP) is that the Government took over another country, spending almost everything that it could.
Our vast amount of cash has been spent.

Proof? Do a search on Google for "Tsunami Nuclear test" and you will indeed find a few people spouting conspiracy theories about nuclear tests being to blame for it. But then again do a search for "Pyramids UFO" and you will find a hell of a lot more whackos. That doesn't mean that "Arab countries actually blame the tsunami on us" any more than americans blame 9-11 on UFOs:
