    and also says we should pay higher taxes so we can give more. Another reason to hate the UN, if we need one. :angry:

    The US gives out more foreign aid than any other country in the world.

    Notice I didn't start this thread?
    What do you pro UN people have to say now?

    I say the UN has no right to talk after what all they have done.

    I don't know but it was more of a general statement but I suspect their are
    a few around. :grin: :lol:

    They were sure around before the Iraq war, saying we should've never went
    into Iraq and let sanctions work.
    I'm not saying everyone that thinks that way but I would say John Kerry would fit that bill with his comments during the debates.
    But
    I don't want to highjack this thread, should keep it right where it started!

    The US paid 40% of worldwide foreign aid last year. The guy had his facts wrong, tripped on his pecker, and is catching a whole lot of flak for making a thoughtless, off-the cuff comment.

    According to Mike Gallagher (sitting in for Sean Hannity), the US has already given $35 Million to the tsunami relief fund. Canada? $1,000,000. Egeland's own country, Norway? $750,000. France? $150,000.
    The dude is pissing on the wrong tree.

    Being that we all agree the dude is barking up the wrong tree and Oil for Food.
    Is the UN becoming more and more Anti-USA?
