That sucks, they gouged the whole planet but only you guys get the money. Your country shall now be forever refred to as the evil revese Robin Hood country! Steal from the poor and give the rich! That makes me sick!

In Ethiopia people are dieing! What do you do give 44 million to some shmuck who has too many CDs.

I think the Western governments (not just America, mind you) have given plenty of aid to Ethiopia. And will probably provide more in the future. The US alone leads in foreign aid. I'm sure at least $1 of my taxes has gone to Ethiopia, and probably more than that.

Where's your furor over Robert Mugabe, the leader of Zimbabwe? He kicked off farmers (mostly white, left over from the days Zimbabwe was known as Rhodesia and was a British colony) who knew what they were doing and gave the land to, not actual farmers, no, get this, he gave it to people who were in his misguided rebel army. Most of whom know shit about farming, which is why Zimbabwe is having food problems now. Ethiopia is (was?) suffering from famine, a natural thing. Mugabe helped cause Zimbabwe's food problem.

Or will you only complain when it makes the US and US interests look bad because you're not getting $20 from a record company?

Anyhow, this is a Phade thread, so it's really not proper to argue in here, now that I think about it.

Methinks it is one of those "home market" technicalities, which are pretty stupid/unfair if you know anything about what they're like/supposed to do.
