donations can be made at www.dec.com or www.unicef.com

This has really shocked me to the core.......... I cannot think of 2 old traffords (MAnchester United's ground) being filled up and the people all being wiped out........ doesn't bear thinking about, except you have to.

On the nation "giving" topic...lets not forget the private individual contributions that is not added in to the country's contributions to aid.

Americans give $18MM
Mass USA donations

Here's a link for Aid Organizations

FYI, Spain sent some money too...but it was a loan. Link (USA is still the single most top contributor) <_< Stingey? Lets not forget the military cargo haulers, naval ships filtering water, and military personel moving that cargo that's not added in either.

That's exactly my point, GhostTX...heck, some of these countries that are complaining aren't giving anywhere near what we are.

The US is the first place to jump in anywhere that there is a crisis.

This anti-US feeling that is buzzing around is really getting to me, I have to say.

There seems to be more threats and badmouthing coming from the United Nations more so than praise and assistance.

I'm not saying that we're perfect, because we're not. But some of these contries need to take a good long look in the mirror. How does that saying go: "Those of you who haven't sinned can cast the first stone"?

I am proud of the British public, $124m raised in private donations!!

(no I am not taking a dig at any other country, everyone donating in doing the right thing )

Hey, I'm proud of any country that is willing to pitch in and help. I just don't like it when a country pitches in and helps and then gets yelled at for not doing enough.

Cheers!

Ditto!

Michael Schumacher donated more than some countries.
