    America has provided more financial and humanitarian aid to the Third World than any other nation ... Not all such aid gets used appropriately, and many will argue that this is still paying lip service to the problem (an argument that has some validity), but the fact remains that other nations may do more, when proportion of GNP is used as the metric, but not in terms of sheer dollar amounts.

    And to add to the WW-II point ... American aid also rebuilt Europe post-war. France and the U.S. were super-tight (up until the recent Iraq invasion) for a reason.

    It has provided some of the BEST music festivals around this country. Last night at the Sunfest Festival here in Palm Beach FL I quickly listened to Sheryl Crow and guess who comes out and play for and with her....none other than Eric Clapton.

    ....And I wasn't there to see her though, I was there to see my friend Michael Franti and his band SPEARHEAD. A great way to meet new friendly people who want badly to get backstage.:)

    Peace

    I believe I've seen where the U.S. gives far and away more money in charity and aid than any country....both by the government and individually.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    The US government is actually at the bottom of the table for foreign financial aid. Top government donors are all European countries led by Norway.

    You're right - in the way that a man with a million dollars who donated one hundred to charity gave more than a man with one hundred and fifty dollars and donated ninety to charity.

    Sort of - considering those numbers were for foreign aid (government) and my initial post was about that and individual giving - where I'm pretty sure the US is #1 on a per-capita basis.
