U.S. Stingy?

The head of the United Nations Disaster Relief Agency said that
the United States was being "stingy" with relief for
the victims of the tsunamis in Southern Asia. I checked.
The U.S. initially pledged $35 Million. The French who
are much more involved in that part of the world and whose citizens
often vacation and un businesses in the region .... does it surprise
you ... The French pledged $135,000. You would think that
the French could part with at least a tiny bit of all that Oil
for Food money they scammed from starving Iraqi kids but
I guess not.
Isn't it about time the UN headquarters moves out of here to
somewhere more generous? How about Paris. The French
and those corrupt, money grubbing, evil bureaucrats deserve each
other!
