The return of stinginess - Editorials/Op-Ed - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper
The return of stinginess - Editorials/Op-Ed - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper: "The tsunami which struck South and Southeast Asia two years ago next Tuesday, killing approximately 220,000, seems to be off the minds of many governments. As the BBC reported this week, several countries have given only a small fraction of their tsunami-aid pledges. Communist China pledged $301 million to Sri Lanka but has so far delivered just $1 million. France promised $79 million but has only delivered $1 million. Spain pledged $60 million but has yielded -- you guessed it -- $1 million."
