You said something nice about The Guardian. So much for any credibility you had.. As for the whining about who is giving what for disaster relief, how about the monumental ingratitude of the Indonesians who are insisting that US soldiers there to help out their citizens and deliver aid not carry weapons when going into rebel-infested territories like Ache, and force their women to wear head scarves while handing out food. What kind of government makes head scarves a priority over the welfare of its disaster-stricken people?
