re: for towie, ghost & dumb dave
Not at all Dave. Powell actually said something that Miles agrees with, no big issue there. I think think the yanks have more selfish reasons and they have openly stated them. Support against the war on terror, Indonesia biggest muslim population etc. Australians are somewhat more genuine in their generousity as can be seen by the individual not just government donations. There are some political issues with Indonesia that will be an issue for Australia perhaps for years to come but that does not and should not stop us supporting people in need no matter where they are from. That is the redeeming feature of the human race as opposed to the ugly conqueror feature
