So throwing them no pennies would help?

No one said the US caused the earthquake, but if they would have been the "generous, kind-hearted people" they claim to be and denoted a few millions to these countries, known for having to deal with these types of natural disasters, a large portion, if not majority of the lives taken, could have been saved. The problem is, these countries do not have the financies to support these types of warning systems, yet the Americans have billions of dollars to bomb other countries and "liberate" their people. Especially after this event, these countries will be struggling to just support the families and individuals affected by this, let alone establish a warning system.

Huh??? So it's the US's fault that a Tsunami early warning system was not built in the indian ocean region ... despite the fact that many governments in the region themselves were tenuous about committing the funds/effort to build it? Despite the fact that according to your own quote:

there was no international system in place to track tidal waves in the Indian Ocean where they are rare.

Please ... the holier than thou/try to find blame with anything attitude is getting pathetic. We might as well blame Canada for allowing 9/11 to happen because they didn't do enough to convince us to adequately prepare for a terrorist strike with their uncommon good sense .

35 million? They don't care about them. They care only about theirselves and so called Israel.

The United States awards Israel $5 billion in aid each year.
Well ofcourse it doesn't matter they are zionists anyway.

Uhm, 350 million not 35, and that's just the start, not taking into account private donations or military costs. I realize that the world believes America should fend for itself, but where was the foreign aid when Florida got hit by 4 hurricanes this year? Everyone expects the US to pump billions into foreign aid and ask for nothing in return, but why can't the opposite be true? How much foreign aid was given after 9/11? (These are geniune questions as much as they are commentary)

its about 2 billion $ of all donantions right now i think

Nice German flag... frankly I find these statements utterly ridiculous. And I have heard it from many Americans. A lot people cite Israel as a reason all aid should come from private hands.

As much as I detest Bush and felt he didn't handle the situation well initially they are doing whats neccesary to get aid into the region. Don't politicize the situation to turn it against Israel. That is stupid and shortsighted.

Furthermore, Israel has also sent technical aid to the region. Albeit with problems stemming from Sri Lanka but they aren't sitting by. Last I read, German and French aid was a abysmal yet you have the audacity to criticize the US. Thats cute.

I did not bitch about the Americans not contributing enough, I simply brought up those statistics because everyone seems to be acting as the Americans have been so generous in giving to this cause yet in reality it's as much as throwing pennies to these people. If people ACTUALLY wanted to help these poorer nations in Asia they would have done so BEFORE the disaster. Not spend their resources in occupying other countries and then telling themselves "Oh shit, Asia just got hammered, now we have to spend our damn money on them again, God Damn it."

You ignorant pro-Americans can believe what you want. You soon will face the reality other people face in this world.
