No site da BBC, hoje pode-se ler isto:

Nearly a third of the population of Iraq is in need of immediate emergency aid, according to a new report from Oxfam and a coalition of Iraqi NGOs.

The report said the government was failing to provide basics such as food and shelter for eight million people.

It warned of a humanitarian crisis that had escalated since the 2003 invasion.

Meanwhile, the US agency overseeing reconstruction in Iraq said economic mismanagement and corruption were equivalent to "a second insurgency"

e isto:

The world owes a debt to the United States for its leadership in the fight against international terrorism, Prime Minister Gordon Brown has said.

Parece-me que a quem muito é devido é a 1/3 dos iraquianos, mas o que é isso comparado aos pobres americanos, que tanto sofrem e tão pouco têm!

No entanto, hoje também se pode ler isto:

"Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has confirmed that the United States is planning a significant increase in military and defence aid to Israel.

The package would reportedly amount to more than $30bn (£14.8bn) over the next 10 years."
...
"novos acordos de venda de armas por parte dos EUA a vários países aliados do Médio Oriente - uma medida destinada a conter a crescente importância do Irão e a reforçar a influência norte-americana na região. Os negócios, no valor global de 20 mil milhões de dólares, envolvem a Arábia Saudita (o maior beneficiário), os Emirados Árabes Unidos, o Kuwait, o Qatar, o Bahrain e o Sultanato de Omã."
...

"The BBC's Bethany Bell in Jerusalem says the package is seen as an attempt to allay Israeli concerns over the planned arms deal with Saudi Arabia, reportedly worth $20bn (£9.8bn) over the next decade.

Defence officials quoted by US media said the sales would include advanced weaponry, missile guidance systems, upgraded fighter jets and naval ships.

Mr Olmert said the increased support was a sign of US commitment to maintain Israel's military "advantage over the Arab states"."

isto deixa-me muito confuso, uns dias são terroristas, noutro dia são compradores de armas.(versão para americanos)

isto deixa-me muito confuso: uns dias são o grande satã, fonte de todo o mal, noutro dia compramo-lhes armas (versão para árabes)
