If PNAC wants us to be the stewards of the world, why so stingy in relief?

We are definitely giving less than many other countries. Aren't we supposed to be the yardstick against which everybody else is measured? The shining beacon of hope and leadership? Isn't that the fact that PNAC is predicated on(justified by)?

They should be outraged about this. If they are not, it simply demonstrates once more exactly how flawed their logic is. Why lead the world when you can rule it?

3. that's what the media are for; to create the image of "shining beacon..

..of hope and leadership".

so they don't actually have to do much good in the world.

4. after calling the world to help on 9/11/01

Shrub is setting the expectation for reciprocity in assistance. Next
time something nasty happens to the US, like an attack or something,
he can expect nothing... as everyone will remember the stingy country
of misers and its burdensome self importance.

USA: generous with murder, bombs, hate and fear.... little else.

5. Leader?

US is no longer the leader of the World, what is happening now only makes it clearly visible.

US, however, is the worst cancer on the face of Earth.
