I'm sorry to hear that. Your opinion actually does matter to me, as does everyone elses. I'm sorry to see mine means so little to you, and hence I won't bother you with the rest of my comments.

Chinadoll: I'm well aware of that. But I don't think the actual amount really shows anything. See, to a poor country one dollar might mean the same as hundred dollars in the USA. That is why I feel the stats I used are more meaningful then just looking at it shallowly. Know what I mean?

Paul, Mugsy & Chinadoll: Like Soledad said, I differentiate between the government and personal donaters. It's not as if I sat there and calculated how much both the government and personal donates gave in Denmark but only counted the government in the USA. Personal donaters hold no meaning really nor was it relevant to my point. I was talking about the government, not the civilians. I also never said that Americans don't care; I said that the government give the least out of any industialized country in the world. That is all.

There are racists who will not employ some people based on skin color alone. This proves that Bush is not one of them without a doubt.
Somehow I find it hard to belive that Bush would have the time (between his wars and golfing and all) to personally sit there and employ people. Besides, I don't really think that proves anything even if he had. He knows the whole world is watching his actions so of course he'll do his best to be careful. Just take what he said to the Swedish prime minister when he thought the cameras were off for example
