It is the US Fault...HAHAHA
The part about stingy contributions is true. Several European nations have contributed over $1.00 per capita in relief; the US has contributed 12 cents per capita.

So you're lazy, couldn't be bothered to check your prejudices were correct and then spouted off about how crazy the author was and that's somehow his fault?

Newspapers (with the exception of certain tabloids) are written with the expectation that the story will be read rather than commented on by simpletons. Simply admit you made a mistake rather than making yourself look even more foolish by attempting to blame someone else for your lack of foresight.
