That's very American of you Wayne :)
So I suppose all the international aid that was sent for the victims of
Katrina is being returned then? Can't have all those durned 'forners'
helping out yet again can you?

Nah, we're just sending twice as much (or more) to Pakistan and India,
two countries still lingering under the effects of British colonialism,
the most globe-spanning attempt to "rule the world alone" ever
conceived by man. God save the Queen !
But seriously, Arri, it isn't the criticism of the US that bothers us
so much, but rather the venomous and self-rightgeous tone mixed with
"facts" of dubious origin. Or is it really self-evident that we are
plutocratic corporativists ? If you say yes, I'll make you define
"plutocratic corporativism". <g>

ROTFL but it worked until the UK decided it wasn't worth the effort.
Are you going to blame colonialism for Musharref's military
expenditures? When the money could have been used to develop
infrastructure?

As opposed to the venomous and self-righteous tone of America's
criticism of the rest of the world I suppose :)
What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. If the US can't take
it don't dish it out either.
