#3 "What shocks me is that you are taking the risk of pulling the carpet under the feet of other aid organizations. Many groups still need more money"

THAT IN A NUTSHELL-

...er, sorry, someone left the volume control pegged.

That in a nutshell expresses the worst fears of all NGOs the world over. Tsunami efforts aside, more and more if us see the typical NGO model as resembling the infamous "Toyota Taliban" NGOs in Kabul.

#4 And Germany's reported aid increase to EURO$500.0M is worth how much in French Francs; and espec US dollars, aka REAL MONEY, and the de facto GLOBAL STANDARD FOR CURRENCY EXCHANGE??? Or is the USA in 2005 still a mere "superpower" only slightly superior to Communism-centric/Communist Russia-China, and not a hyper-power - the $15.0T -or-less Global GDP Russkies and Chinese say America is going down, and they want youse $300.0-900T + Global GDP Amerikans to know it!?
