US Gives $580 million to Somalia...

...Saudi Arabia gives $60

Somalia is a failed state, ruined and run by Al-Qaeda jihadis who hate America deeply. Yet that does not stop the US from the folly of pouring money into a country that clearly can't be helped. While people all over the world are paying outrageous prices at the gas pump, thus lining the pockets of Saudi Arabia, that nation gives a pittance to help their coreligionists. To add to this farce, America no longer has the money to give. America and Americans are in debt and struggling. Now seems like the least likely time in history to be throwing money at Muslim nations, in the hopes that they might "like us more." It is a waste and clearly not working.

NAIROBI, Kenya - A U.N. list of countries donating aid money to the Horn of Africa famine shows that the U.S. is by far the biggest donor, having given around $580 million in aid this year.

The U.N. says the world community has given $1.1 billion in aid so far, but that $1.3 billion more is needed to help the more than 12 million people in need. At least 30,000 people have already died.

Britain is the second-biggest donor at $205 million, followed by Japan and Australia. Saudi Arabia is next at $60 million. It is the biggest donor from the Muslim world.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday announced another $17 million in U.S. funding.

She said the drought is a reminder of the need to invest in global agriculture.
