20/20 had a great special on last night, that dealt with many things, one of which was the amount of charity Americans gave to the world. Apparently, the anti-us-leftist propaganda is totally false. Americans outgive any other group by a staggering margin. For example, we outgive Italians 12 to 1. No one comes close.
Yet, we are hated. After massive indonesia tsunami charity, the Islamic country wastes no time in being the first to welcome Amejdijad of Iran, not to mention a host of scandals where the Indonesians told us to get out!
Dont give me this "we do it cause its right" garbage. We can do many other things with the money that are much more "right" and dont amount to "throwing goof money after bad".
Theres nothing wrong with at least giving or investing in areas that dont contradict our immediate self interests. Why give a frickin frickin red cent to people who hate us?
Like the stupidty of Yugoslavia, what return did we get? 911 shortly after. Nice.
