September 5, 200521 yr America helps when help is needed, so it is great to see countries returning the favor and helping us in a time of despair.
September 5, 200521 yr I have a hard time understanding why it is that countries that are poorer than us are donating hundreds of millions of dollars.? Aren't they just going to need it back? Seems nice of them to do anyway. 930088[/snapback] You have no idea how wealthy Kuwait and Qatar are, do you? 930188[/snapback] Not in numerical terms. I get that they have a lot of oil money. They could probably use a lot of that oil money on their own people, though, because no matter how much surplus cash they have to spend on us, I'm sure we have them beat by orders of magnitude.
September 5, 200521 yr Kuwait: Government has asked parliament to approve an emergency aid package of $500 million in humanitarian aid and petroleum. "We as Kuwaitis feel that we must stand alongside our friends to alleviate this humanitarian hardship," Minister of Energy Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahd said in a statement to the Kuwait News Agency. Not coming in yet I guess, it has to be approved first by the parliament.
