Indonesia 'angry at US for slow response'
5/29/06

Posted on 05/29/2006 4:51:31 PM PDT by pabianice

According to today's news, Indonesians are "angry" at the US for not responding quickly enough with enough aid to help them recover from the most recent disaster (the earthquake) in an unbroken series of disasters.

Excuse me? Angry because we have not gone once again to save their sorry butts from the results of their government's corruption, incompetence, illiteracy, and criminality? When did we become responsible for their mess of a country? Apparently I didn't get the memo.

Enough. Bite me. I am utterly sick to death of the nations of the world with their hand out, and when we put something in it, it's never enough.

Remember that it was the Dems who got us into this mess by criticizing the President for not sending enough of our tax dollars to Indonesia after the tsunami.

We're viewed as parents by most of the rest of the world.

....a world committed to remaining infants.

Yeah, but their ill mannered children with no respect for their parents. I think they need a HUGE dose of tough love.

They really should just shut up. That would be the wise thing to do.

Not to be cruel, well after that type of comment: let's be cruel and see how they like to rot in their own personal hell called Indonesia.

Where was Indonesian aid after Katrina? Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama are still waiting!

Indonesians were overjoyed when 9/11 happened. Let there arab brothers feed them.

It is time to tell the world -- if you are against the USA -- don't call us for help!

LET THEM STRAVE!

Indonesia 'angry at US for slow response'

IIRC, it was Indonesian authorities that unceremoniously booted
our humanitarian mission off their turf.

I think that there was suspicion that helpers from the US military might
make the recovery process too efficient (less chance for graft by
the Indonesian authorities).

Didn't Indonesia turn away the aid that the US was preparing to give them after the Tsunami?

Sounds like they want REPARATIONS as well!

Government should get out of the charity disaster business and let the private sector deal with it, who'll do a much better job at a fraction of the cost anyway.

I'm sick of these 3rd world Hell holes. Earthquakes happen in the U.S. all the time and it doesn't reach the disaster proportions that happen to these countries. IMPLEMENT FRICKING BUILDING CODES, BUILD BRICK-AND-MORTAR HOMES INSTEAD OF THESE MUD HUTS!!

Since Indonesia is 90% Muslim, I am surprised they would even accept any help from infidels. After all, we might try to convert them from devil worship , er I mean Islam.

Wonder what the Saudis have done to help?

We are such chumps. Now they expect it. And you can bet what they are being told...

We have the U.S. so afraid of our terror tactics that they give you money to fix your homes following an earthquake. We make them give it to you.

I just finished talking to my friend just befor e I saw this posted and mentioned that I will not contribute a dime to this earthquake relief effort.

For every dime I would have considered sending to this Mooselimb nation, I will send it to an Israeli charity for helping the victims of Mooselimb suicide cultists.

Shouldn't we wait for a consensus from the UN as to what to do? What does France think? How about Belgium? Wouldn't want to be accused of being cowboys now, would we?

Too busy to cite your source I guess.

We saw the same thing in New Orleans. The third world is all over the world.

If you have nothing coherent to post, then don't post at all. If your idiosyncratic post means something to you, then post something comprehensible so that it means something to someone else.

This story was on radio news 12 hours ago. This is hardly fresh nor is it particularly limited knowledge.
