I think that comment by that UN guy were out of control and slanted. What he said was that the US goverment only paid something like 0.4% of the GDP for aid. Which is greater than anyone elses.

The numbers are slanted because they did not include the charitable donations made by the US population which will end up tripling the entire amount donated by everyone else in the entire world.

I think the UN has a credible purpose, and this is a chance for it to shine, especially after getting caught with the Saddam thing. It's a pity that they are throwing norwegian rocks.
