Burma is an under developed area full of poor people, if a strong wind would have hit Rodeo drive and knocked over Miley Cyrus, we'd never hear the end of it.

i believe america doesn't make the top 20 of aid donators as a percentage of GDP.

but it does give a lot, i agree. particularly to egypt and israel.

how about in total dollar amount. let's not qualify what we give based on GDP.

looking simply at how much we give where on the list do we stand?

GDP is a much more accurate example
