what exactly do we owe them? and why? were they not dancing in their streets after 9/11 ? chanting down with America? FUCK THEM!!!!
now as for the other countries, I think that is where ALL of the money or goods or manpower coming from the US should go.

Don't blame the victims because some fools were dancing in the streets. Radical Islamists and Muslims there do not represent the entire populatio.
Do you really expect Bush to stand in front of the nation and say "well, we've decided to sit this one out because some Indonesians were happy at 9/11"?
Besides, in a situation like this where so many lives are at stake petty differences (and even not-so-petty differences) need to be put aside.
And I hope that you're comments about the fact they are the "largest Muslim country" doesn't imply the US shouldn't help on that fact alone? Unless you've been brainwashed by your nation's fear mongers Muslims are not terrorists and do not condone it in any way. To imply all Muslims or Islamists are not worthy of aid because bin Laden happens to share their basic religious values is an ignorant and dangerous belief .. and it doesn't take a genius to see in America's own history what damage this line of thinking caused (if you don't know what I mean, just watch Mississippi Burning).
