The $30 billion in damages to New Orleans or whatever it's estimated at, is only so high because that is what the cost in the USA would be to rebuild... In most countires, $30 billion dollars would set them on their way to becoming a 1st world country...
The USA owns 50% of the world; they honestly shouldn't need donations; I donated, and I'm glad others did, though, if the current government wasn't in Iraq, and now the future governments will be stuck in Iraq (for decades), then you'd be much better off.. but Bush has made enough off of all of this.. and once he's out of office, he'll just enjoy the tens of millions+ (no idea how much he could possibly have owed to him by certain companies) ..
Anyway..
The $500 million from Kuwait is probably a day or a few days' worth of oil profits, and they could export their majority to the US, and therefore want to keep good relations..
