Yes It Does

1 ) The American government is responsible for protecting Americans no the rest of the world. Your disbelief that the iraq war is irrelevant to the fact that this administration does and as such they should spend money where they think it helps americans.

2) Iraq is a mess and it is our obligation to fix it as the occupying power.

So we have two clear obligations that apply to Iraq and none to the tsunami disaster. Despite no clear obligation and the huge amount of foreign aid we already provide to the world including military protection that France, Germany, Canada, and Japan do not provide we will still be one of if not the leading donor. It is typical of you to make such stupid attacks on the US. Repeated comments like these give you very low credibility when it comes to criticizing the US despite there being an abundance of real reasons to criticize both long term US and current administration policies.
