And the world wakes up from history...

or, Disproven Wrong.

Neil Cavuto will have to shut up now:  International aid is comming to the US.

The gist is:  Austrailia to send $7.7 million (all figures US dollars) to the American Red Cross, Japan $200,000 with $300,000 in supplies (tents, power generators, etc).  Sri Lanka, one of the countries affected in last year's tsunami, is pledging $25,000 to the Red Cross.  EU countries will be sending aid where needed, as well as NATO.

*sigh*

Have you ever thought that it might be because the US tends to send their own teams into these zones to help out instead of throwing money at the problem? I suspect that their lists also do not list private contributions by citizens of each country...

Like the missionaries that required conversion before giving food to people in the tsunami zone? That's a common tactic of the US.

I'm confused, what does that have to do with the post before it?

Has that even happened? I hadn't heard a single thing about that even on international news. Unless you're talking about Christian aid organizations instead of the military aid organizations, then we're definitely talking about something unrelated to the previous two posts.
