Here's another story about people putting their money where their mouth is. The article begins:
"Some of the world's biggest aid agencies, bracing for a massive humanitarian crisis in Iraq, say they'll refuse money from 'belligerent' countries such as the United States, Britain, and possibly Canada if it joins a U.S.-led attack.
Humanitarian groups acknowledge it's a decision that could cost them millions of dollars, but say the principles at stake are more important.
'What we're saying is we cannot take money from a country that basically causes destruction, then expects us to pick up the pieces,' said Rupen Das of World Vision Canada."
