"Generosity"

They didn't actually do anything to earn this money, it is Western money that just landed on them. Most people find it easier to be generous with other people's money. Luwilt (talk) 00:52, 4 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

I don't understand. Are you disputing that they actually gave this money? I don't think it matters where the country earns money from. Aside from governments that print money, all money is traded for goods or services. This is true for Saudi Arabia, as well as every other country that makes a living by selling exports.Bless sins (talk) 01:31, 29 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Looking at the sources of this article, they could be better. The information taken from this official Saudi source need to be verified by some third party for starters. This source does not verify that "Saudi Arabia donated over US$3.3 million, more than any other country". And so on. Steinberger (talk) 12:53, 28 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
