...why President Bush was criticized for not jumping out on his front porch immediately upon hearing the news of the tsunami, even though he was already mobilizing help and pledging financial aid.....(btw, the U.S. has now pledged $350 million to this effort...)
...and Kofi Annan - on a skiing trip who couldn't be bothered to respond until he finished the entire vacation - got no criticism from the MSM or the rest of the world???
...where are all the musicians that were singing for George Bush to be defeated? why haven't they held a concert to raise funds for the tsunami victims? are they at the same vaca place that Kofi Annan was?...we know they can pull together a concert on a moments notice, if they want to...but, oh, puh-leeze...don't disturb them when they are PARTYING!
...why is it okay for liberals to use the tsunami victims and their families for political purposes...and it wasn't okay for Bush/Cheney to even mention the victims of 9/11??
...why is it okay for the muslims in Sri Lanka and India to refuse help from Israel...and no one from the muslim countries in the Middle East have been heard of since this happened?
...why it is okay for Jan Egeland of the U.N. to criticize the United States, calling us 'stingy'; yet, when President Bush steps up to the plate and forms a coalition of nations to send help, Clare Short, formerly with the U.N., states that "Bush is 'Undermining UN with Aid Coalition'??
...why is it okay for the people of the world to hold their hand out to the U.S., a country that always responds...generously...always - yet, those very same people declare - almost on a daily basis - their hatred for the United States and its citizens??
if you can answer one or more of these questions, it would be greatly appreciated...this desert rat has pondered these issues as we await the clock heralding in a new year...and I have yet to come up with just one answer!
