the article compares the funds raised for relief from Katrina and rebuilding New Orleans (by many different organizations and fund raisers, if the figure quoted is accurate) to the funds raised for rebuilding Iraq (by one very poorly managed fundraiser, seeing as no-one seems to have heard of it).
Let's see, I can contribute to help friends and colleagues I've met in a city I've visited on soil of my own nation, or I can contribute money to rebuilding a nation my president is apparently still in the process of destroying. Hmmmm... Yeah, that's a toughy, all right. |
