Hahaha! "my big brother is stronger than yours", like its your money or something. Think about it like this, what would YOUR precious america do if disaster strikes in lets say czech republic? yes yes not much BUT the neighbouring countries would. Look at a map and hey look at that, haiti is YOUR neighbour.

Not at all about "my brother is stronger"..
More like..hey for all of the assholes saying American sucks and are greedy,
i would point to that 5:1 ratio and say.."Oh really now?"

More like..My brother is so kind, that if you find yourself in trouble..you can probably count on him to help to the tune of FIVE TIMES more than anyone else...even if he knows he will be considered the bad guy after helping you.

And if a tragedy struck The Czech republic, you could STILL count on those evil shitty, greedy Americans to give more aid out of their PERSONAL pockets than anyone on the entire planet.

And that is a fact.

American Private Citizens (not businesses or government) Donate more than $92 BILLION dollars every year to charity.

Name one country (just one) whose private citizens even come close to giving away those numbers out of their OWN pockets..not their governments.

Comes from compassion...and imagine that, here i am having to defend it.

Oh and for the record, the VAST majority of the money flowing from the US to haiti WILL come from Private citizens, yes, including MY money..so yes, i can say..ITS MY MONEY.

I just saw the movie "The Road", it was good. Was like a prequel to any zombie movie. Soon we will hear of cannibalism in Haiti. Its just the beginning. "A Full Belly is prerequisite to all manner of good. Without that, no man knows, what hunger will make him do."-Alexander Pearce

U.S. Diverts Spy Drone from Afghanistan to Haiti
http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2010/01 ... spy-drone/

As part of the Haiti relief effort, the U.S. military is sharing imagery from one of its high-end, high-flying spy drones, the RQ-4 Global Hawk.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RQ-4_Global_Hawk
This image, shot yesterday by a Global Hawk, shows damage to the National Cathedral in Port-au-Prince. U.S. Southern Command is sharing the images so that non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and relief groups can get a better picture of the situation on the ground.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RQ-4_Global_Hawk
Danger Room pal Paul McCleary has much, much more detail at Ares. Colonel Bradley Butz, with the Air Force’s 480th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Wing told at McCleary that the Global Hawk was originally supposed to fly over Afghanistan, but was retasked yesterday to Haiti, where it spent 14 hours on station and shot hundreds of images.

“Today we’re going after another 1,000 images, which will all be unclassified,” McCleary quotes Butz as saying. “SOUTHCOM will provide it to whoever needs it.”

Sharing imagery from a spy drone may sound like an unusual move, but it’s part of a larger push within the Pentagon to declassify and share imagery in stability operations and disaster relief. Back in 2008, former Pentagon chief information officer Linton Wells told Danger Room how he had pushed for combatant commanders to collaborate more freely with NGOs and aid groups. Wells, in fact, oversees a Pentagon-funded project called STAR-TIDES, which tries to encourage the military to tap social networking and trust-building arrangements in disaster response.

SOUTHCOM, in fact, seems to be taking a page from STAR-TIDES. The command has set up two collaborative portals: One that is accessible to partner nations, international organizations, NGOs and academia; a second, designated “for official use only” (i.e., unclassified, but restricted) that is open to users across the Department of Defense.
