You're starting to sound like one of them 'rich 'mericans'.
Go into someone else's country, run ram shod all over them & then tell
them what to do with their home, property, possessions state etc.
Oh wait a minute... that's your government you're imitating!



Maybe .... but consider:

"In terms of official government foreign assistance, “the U.S. gives the
most in absolute amounts, more than twice what the second ranked donor,
Japan, gives,” said Adelman during a global Internet chat July 27."

"But this number does not include substantial private foreign assistance,
such as aid that comes from private donations, charities, religious
associations and other nonprofit groups."

“Private international giving by Americans is over three and one-half times
that of U.S. government foreign assistance,” Adelman told participants in
the Internet chat. “When you take into account this U.S. private giving, our
foreign assistance far exceeds other countries by any measure.”
