Will the U.N. call France "stingy?"

Tim Blair lists some figures for contributions to aid tsunami victims and France is making a poor showing. Actally, "a poor showing" is being far kinder to France than they deserve. $US135,400 (100,000 euros or $A177,000) is a ridiculously low contribution. In fact, it's insulting. If I were the leader of one of those countries affected by the tsunami, I'd reject France's contributions simply on principle.

UPDATE: Captain Ed has more excellent commentary on this issue.
