No, actually I think the Bush Administration dropped the ball entirely with their delayed response.
One topic that has barely been touched on (apart from OFKUO) is the absolutely miserly contributions from other, exceedingly rich, Islamic countries.
To be perfectly honest, I'm both aghast at this lack of assistance and amazed that it hasn't been siezed upon by the usual anti-Islamic members and pundits. In this circumstance, complete and utter condemnation of such miserliness is entirely justified.
These guys talk about the "West" trying to colonize and influence their countries, or (even worse) that Chrisitians are trying to convert or struggle against Muslims. But who are helping out the most?
Hypocrisy, no matter what side it's on, should be identified, highlighted and ridiculed.
