Qatar donates $100 million for Katrina

Funny how the US will accept charity money it does not need (as the richest country in the world) from Arab states but will make a huge fuss about Arab business investments:

On September 14, 2005, the Amir of the State of Qatar, His Highness Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani, graciously announced a gift of $100 million for those stricken by Hurricane Katrina. On Saturday, May 13, 2006, at a ceremony in New Orleans, representatives of the State of Qatar will announce the disbursement of $60 million of this sum to institutions and non-governmental organizations providing healthcare and educational services to those affected by this natural disaster.
