The donations made by many countries who need help counts up to many millions of dollars. The countries vary by which one gives the most depending on how they are ranked. The United States is one of the most giving countries in terms of the total amount of money they give but however it looks different through a different perspective. In terms of the average amount of money donated per person in the United states would make the country appear a little selfish as the ranking descends to a spot around the 20's.

It was a public known fact that George Bush was disappointed when he found out there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. George Bush's book has been a success unlike his Presidency and has sold 700,000 copies in a week almost as much as the 800,000 books Bill Clinton sold when he released his book for the first time.

It turns out that the major concern of the United States has been turned to other public matters but in fact the economic crisis we are still in as a country is not gone and it's surprising the attention in the media isn't focused on it. As of today is approximately a staggering amount of  $13,000,000,000,000 or thirteen trillion and most of that money is owed to other countries such as China for example. It is estimated that of the approxiamately 300 million people who live in the United States the only way to pay it all back would be if everyone paid their share of $45,000!

Back when Sarah Palin was running for the vice-presidency alongside John Mccain many wondered whether she could be the Republican nomination for the Presidency in 2012. Some say she could be a dangerous opponent for Barack Obama since she does get much press and this could raise her popularity amongst the people of the United States. However other expert presidential analyzers claim that Sarah Palin wouldn't know how to run he resposibilities that are of a president nature and herself in such a position would be a complete and utter disaster.

Why relations with Pakistan and India are essential for America.

It turns out that the United States should be concerned with the way Pakistan and India view the country because they can be important allies or vicious enemies. It turns out India and Pakistan resent the United States for deserting their interests when they most needed the United States. Pakistan and India don't want America to leave Afghanistan in tatters because they don't want to have to face a problem that America could just leave behind for them to solve when they didn't have musch to do with it. If America starts something it should be done right.
