2. Not to bah humbug or anything, but...

This is the second time I've seen this one. Both times it was posted as good news of a sort from Iraq. I know it's Christmas and all, but it's 100,000 bucks in cash and $500,000 worth of medical supplies, and it may be balm for some folks' consciences but it doesn't do crap for mine.

$100,000 sounds like a lot of money, but divided among the survivors of a couple thousand dead Iraqis it ain't diddly.

As for the medical supplies, let's say they were owed.

Peace on earth, good will to all.
That's Christmas-y.
Let's give that instead.
