#1 How about a few million in humanitarian arms aid? We got plenty of old weapons I'm sure would be appreciated. We could call it Guns for Genocide Victims, or something.

#2 $8M to the UN
$5M to the Intl Red Thingy
$1M to NGOs & Admin Costs

How much will reach the intended recipients? You have to wonder - as well as wonder at the people who constantly criticize the US - $110M thus far and all through the "acceptable" channels - all this happening under the radar. We are soooo bad and evil.

#3 You forgot the Sudan Government.

They require that all 'aid' be provided through the government, delivered in government trucks and in government marked sacks (the sacks cannot say 'U.S. AID' or have any NGO markings.).

Actually most of the 'aid' will probably end up in the militants hands..... dont want them to get too hungry between gang-raping little girls and murdering the men.....

But I do like the Guns for Genocide Victims plan... And the UN and media would hate it which is all the better.
