If George bush wants america to be the world super power it should be a given that the supports other smaller countries in times of terrible crisis and need. Please note that the 35 million was a step up from the measly amount they first pledged. Even other american cabinet ministers (polos) spoke out about what a small amount it was. The Australian government has given 1 billion dollars with the state governments giving more again. The australian people have donated approx 90 million dollars. All i am trying to say is that we cant give physical help there but these countries will need money and the tourist industry to pick back up. Perhaps if G Bush hadn't turned 9/11 into a reason for him to go to war than countries would have helped but he used it for his own reasons - not the good of the country. I think that other countries have a right to be angered if the world power gives a measly amount of money - which they spend in like 2 days in Iraq. |
