I heard on the news that the US has accepted all offers of relief. Including
$25,000 from Indonesia; The list I heard has several third world countries sending sums from $25,000 - $100,000 each. It's amazing that many individuals in the US have donated $1 million or more. Individuals being able to offer more than entire nations. I am not complaining about the third world nations not having money to donate, but rather am amazed at the wealth of some of the citizens of this country. -----Original Message----- From: Dana [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 02, 2005 11:07 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Where Is The Leadership? the US would not accept relief? Why the hell not? Those people need SOMETHING. Are you kidding me? The US turned down relief?
