Where the World's Richest Nation sends its foreign aid

I came across this interesting graph at the blog Aid Watchers, a blog I want to write a separate post about soon(ish). The blurring of the names of some of countries with the largest numbers of poor people contrasts jarringly with the amount of aid that goes to places where the United States has a strategic/military/political interest. Interestingly, Israel doesn't appear because it is not a developing country, but if it did, it would be second only to Iraq. India, though it constitutes a sixth of the world's population and has a high percentage of the global poor, receives very little. Food for thought.
