It's amazing how the United States was just blown massive amounts of crap for not forking over many millions/billions of dollars the nanosecond after that tsunami killed all those people in south Asia.
We were 'condemned' for being stingy, for usurping the *cough* authority of the United Nations in their (so called) relief efforts. And that's not too hard to do: the United Nations was just putting on their non-child manufactured shoes to go to the airport while Americans were already on the ground distributing water, food, medical aid, etc.
Not much has been said about that dreaded 'instrument of bush's Warmongering' called the USS Abraham Lincoln speeding to the disaster zone and rendering aid & assistance to the survivors; not much except for the Indonesian government telling the battlegroup commander that they cannot conduct training excercises in Indonesia's territorial waters.
Then I read this account from a U.S. Naval officer onboard the Lincoln:
As I went through the breakfast line, I overheard one of the U.N. strap-hangers, a longhaired guy with a beard, make a sarcastic comment to one of our food servers. He said something along the lines of “Nice china, really makes me feel special,” in reference to the fact that we were eating off of paper plates that day. It was all I could do to keep from jerking him off his feet and choking him, because I knew that the reason we were eating off paper plates was to save dishwashing water so that we would have more water to send ashore and save lives.and this:
As for the Indonesian officers, while their job is apparently to encourage our leaving as soon as possible, all they seem to do in the meantime is smoke cigarettes. They want our money and our help but they don’t want their population to see that Americans are doing far more for them in two weeks than their own government has ever done or will ever do for them.What a Mongolian Cluster Fuck. It makes me want to puke.
Can someone tell me why we're still a member of such an organization such as the United Nations when they demonstrate such a lack of intelligence that they probably couldn't find their way out of an open field??

It amazes me to see the so called image of humanatrian responce the U.S. portrays in the face of any global "disaster" it feels will project an upstanding vision of compassion to the rest of the world. What about the homeless and ailing people here in this country who cannot afford adequate healthcare let alone find decent jobs in a declining job market, Anyone take a look at the last unemployment rate in Michigan lately? Personally it makes me sick to see the way america treats some of its very own citizens, and some of them are Veterans who served to protect and preserve the american way of life in the name of freedom and democracy, to enable our elected officials continuance to better improve life for all in america, not just the wealthy.

Hey Mr.President, before you go off and start mending fences abroad trying to renew friendships in other countries, I think you should really start at home and take care of your dirty laundry here first. The image you take with you of my country to present upon the rest of the world is not what I care to see. And really, If I can see right through your candy ass image of a leader so can the rest of the world's leaders. Time for a reality check!
