    Wow, there are some amazing contributions coming from around the globe.

    Iraq just sent $1 million to the US for aid.

    US accepts 1 bln usd in international aid after Hurricane Katrina

    WASHINGTON (AFX) - The US has accepted one bln usd in cash and material goods from 45 countries and is weighing other offers of aid for Hurricane Katrina victims, a State Department official said.

    Washington is trying to manage an influx of offers from 95 countries, the official explained, amid media reports that aid offers from abroad have been delayed for days, waiting for clearance from the US authorities.

    'The last thing we want is to end up with something which is of no use,' said Harry Thomas, executive secretary of the State Department, who is coordinating Washington's response to foreign governments offering aid.

    The US has already accepted flights bearing aid from the UK, France and Italy.

    Hold yer ideology giddy, if you are going to charge a properly sourced ABC report as a lie, the impetuous is on YOU to provide proof otherwise.

    Until then, I'm not sure what your point is
