..begging for food. Bush's offer of $35 million for the cruel natural disaster in Asia was too obscene to ignore. Do you know that Israel received that amount every three days last year. (Israel received $13.5 million A DAY from US last year)? The price of some fighter jets that Israel receives from US to bomb Palestinian towns, cities, camps, and villages is even higher than that amount. The Federal program for abstinence is more than 5 times that amount. The US spends that amount EVERY FOUR HOURS in the illegal Iraq war. This is the compassion of the American Empire.
