I don't disagree with that but my post is my opinion and I believe it to be true. Oh by the way The U.S.A. is not a Christian nation. Our country belongs to all our people no matter what religion they adhere to and we seem to be the one who helps the most. Oops did I post with my spell check still on ? Sorry bout that !

Maybe if the palestinians would stop blowing up Americans and encouraging others to go on jihad in their name they would get more aid.

You people are ridiculous. Why do you think Israel is helping Haiti? Maybe because the United States gives Israel 13.7 million dollars EVERY SINGLE DAY.

But "Oh look at how much Israel is doing in proportion to the size of their country blah blah". Want to talk about the size of their country, maybe you conveniently fail to realize that Israel has the highest amount of fighter jets out of any other country besides the USA. That makes sense doesn't it?

Why the hell do you think Turkey is slow to respond? 80% of the people there live in complete poverty. Do you expect Rwanda to give millions of dollars in aid?

Dont forget and an Admiral was relieved of duty because he tried to launch not 1 but 2 sorties to go to the aid of the USS Liberty. Both times he was ordered to stand down.
LBJ" We will not embarassn Israel" Followed by 20 years of cover up and denials.

Check your history fella! The U.S., at least, has responded to Muslim nations during disaster (not always received or accepted), communist (ditto) nations, budist (sp?) nations and so many others. I cannot think of a single natural disaster in my lifetime where the U.S. has not offered, at least, help. Didn't the "Christian nations" offer much aid to Indonesia? Isn't Indonesia Muslim?

twista6002, you apparently don't even know your recent history:

US aid to Iran after 2002 earthquake:

ReliefWeb » Document » USAID sends $400,000 of humanitarian aid to Iran earthquake victims

and again in 2003
http://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PNACW129.pdf

Israel offered and supplied help to Turkey in 1999 following an earthquake and offered help to Iran in 2003 following the earthquake that devistated Bam but Iran refused aid from Israel.
