to be completely honest, that article does not do the problem justice.. i watched a documentary on these kids, and many of them who had stayed in the same bed for 5+ years where just completely broken, and when one of the documenters would go up and communicate or just play with the kids you would instantly see such a change in them, they definately can be helped. imagine being in a caged bed for 15 years with NO stimulation AT ALL, even jail is leaps and bounds more combforting than that.

wow....... FOUL!
Other than our (the US taxpayers $$$) ongoing humanitarian efforts (millions every single day of the year!) the money of the US taxpayers money is not yours to decide where it would best be spent.
The Czech republic is so much closer to the UK/Scotland, how could you people let this happen right under your own noses? <--- Turn about is fair play, I'll go ahead and blame this kind of thing on neighbors going through life with their blinders on.
Yeah, that sounds about right to me now,
I feel very badly for those kids but blaming the war in Iraq for any of this is just revolting OP.......
nice try on the guilt trip though, nice try indeed!
OH! This is for the UK alone,
wake up & watch what the rest of your european neighbors are doing.
EDIT: btw, what I posted above was intended to sound as ridiculous as blaming the war for anything any european wants to cast our way, I didn't expect this from the admins @ icmag.

What can you do?
What can you do?
War burns money and lives- like shoveling them down some bottomless pit. That $117 billion is only what they are admitting to! The REAL cost could be double that! Black ops, pay-offs, skimming, falsely inflating prices, and anyone remember all that US money that "disappeared" not too long ago?
The world is a mess! With this administration, there isn't much we can do about it. So I (and the rest of the world) am waiting until bush is gone (yes, the lower case b was deliberate- capital letters denote some respect). Nothing good will happen until he is out of office!
But until then, there is something you CAN do to make the world better- FEED SOMEONE! How do you feed someone half a world away? Play freerice.com! Just click the link, play and feed the world!

While you build your vocabulary, you earn rice to feed someone. I do a minimum of 10,000 (yes, that's ten thousand) grains of rice every day. I started doing it just after Xmas and I haven't missed one day yet. It was one of my New Year's resolutions. Somewhere a little package of rice will "have my name on it" and someone who was hungry will eat tonight.
Think about it- how much did YOU eat today? 1 meal? 2 meals? 3 meals and a mess of snacks? Pass the favor on to someone not so lucky! - Granny

taken out of context
I was pointing out thats just what the US spends (easy to find out) other countrys don't give out details so easily
and notice I said ALL wars and For the US alone
theres more than 2 wars going on in the world right now
the only reason the others are not in the news every night is that there local and don't involve the US or Europe
and I'd be more than happy if the UK pulled out of Iraq and Afghanistan tomorrow
and spent the money helping to save lives rather than taking them
and this is a humanitarian point of view not a political point of view

I like the way political views can be disguised as "moral" or "humanitarian" when it's convenient
