Vive le Canada - Our Country, Our Voice

Vive le Canada - Our Country, Our Voice: "by George Monbiot: The US government has so far pledged $350m to the victims of the tsunami, and the UK government �50m ($96m). The US has spent $148 billion on the Iraq war and the UK �6bn ($11.5bn). The war has been running for 656 days. This means that the money pledged for the tsunami disaster by the United States is the equivalent of one and a half day's spending in Iraq. The money the UK has given equates to five and a half days of involvement in the war. "
