Foreign Aid for the Dec. 2004 Tsunami Victims as PR Moves

Post: # 2571Post Vesko »

From http://greghurrell.net/blog/:
George Bush's budget

Date: 3 January 2005

Money spent funding wars in Afghanistan and Iraq: $300 billion ($3,000,000,000)

Money pledged as tsunami foreign aid: $350 million ($350,000,000)

Links: Foreign aid by country, War spending article 1, War spending article 2.
Guess who gave the least (given officially as a state aid) -- African Union: 0.10 million, and, ta-da... Bulgaria: 0.14 million (from the first quoted link).
Do you REALLY practice meditation? If your REALLY do, do you practice a GOOD method? Are you sure this is REALLY so?
