I noticed that Germany made one of largest pledges in Aid for the Tsunami affected region to date. The WSJ's Marcus Walker points out that Schroeder "Announc[ed] the package at a time when Germany is seeking international support from Asian governments for its claim to a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council." You can read his article here.
I'm a rather simple guy, but I fear that compassion is not a leading motivation driving giving from the governmental bodies around the world. Perhaps Bush is on to something?
