Oh, Europe Stingy Too!

Hey Jan Egeland, what do you think of the story "Thailand has been told by the European Commission that it must buy six A380 Airbus aircraft if it wants to escape the tariffs against its fishing industry". Some snippets:

TSUNAMI-struck Thailand has been told by the European Commission that it must buy six A380 Airbus aircraft if it wants to escape the tariffs against its fishing industry.

While millions of Europeans are sending aid to Thailand to help its recovery, trade authorities in Brussels are demanding that Thai Airlines, its national carrier, pays £1.3 billion to buy its double-decker aircraft. (The rest of the story here)

Where is the worldwide outrage - could it possibly be that because this does not involve Bush or America it is no big deal - and we as Americans are suppose to worry what Jan Egeland and the UN think, Right!

UPDATE: 7:19PM - Instapundit has further information on this indicating that the US also hit Thailand with tariffs...
