US tsunami relief = 42.27 hours' worth of Iraq-war spend
"Curious as to how much $350 million in promised US aid for tsunami victims equals in expenditures on the war in Iraq? I did the math so you don't have to. $350 million equals 42.27 hours of the cost of the war in Iraq. (And yes, the decimal point is in the right place.)"
(Thanks, Frank!)
Well, let's not talk about our gifts then...
Belgium is slowly changing their television programs into 'aid to the people' ventures. -After VRT and VTM, now also on TMF and JimTV-
And there are more initiatives and account number to pay to then Famous Belgians.
Is this going too far?
I hope there won't be a discussion on 'if or if not to use the money for other people in need'.
In my opinion 1212 should use the money for the places they need.
Why would anybody in Asia be faster 'served' then in Africa?
Anyhow, let's hope that this 'money-injection' out of solidarity enables the aid organizations to do more this year.
