"Give us money, Americans!"

As you know, tragic disaster had struck parts of Pakistan and India - where 7.6 magnitude earthquake had by the latest estimates killed up to 30,000 people; but as the search for the survivors continues this already takes political overtones ... Indian authorities are already reported complaining about how slow the aid arrives - of course, whenever the disasters like this happen in the 3rd world countries they all open their pockets, and expect Americans to fill them without question - which United States usually does, aside from contributing billions to different humanitarian causes (even recognizing the Palestinian state, in sharp contrast to Zionist interests in U.S. politics - where Israel basically wants genocide against Palestine to continue) ... but I digress, I will definitely return to this topic later ... Coming back to situation at hand ... there is no doubt in anyone's mind that American aid will flow shortly, and U.S. will deliver through its charities and governmental help as usual. But what is also coming is inevitable sharp criticism from two very similar factions - (1) anti-American foreign elements such as Al-Jazeera news network which ALREADY blames U.S. for the lack of response and (2) anti-American domestic elements - namely left-wing media and pundits that will also blame U.S. for the same reasons - while failing to acknowledge what had been done. The latter likes to accuse us of failures, but fails to praise the successes - OH, THE LIBERAL HYPOCRISY - they always demand fairness. You want fairness libs? How about we donate to Pakistan, oh I don't know, twice of what they "donated" to New Orleans - that would be fair according to your logic ...
