"Supply boxes and food sacks should be emblazoned with American flags. GIs who distribute that assistance should wear Old Glory on their uniforms. Private-sector American volunteers should be offered T-shirts that identify them as US ambassadors of goodwill."
Pragmatically, that would not be a good idea. It would make them more of a target than they already are (all aid workers are targets of Islamic fundamentalists. American logos would endanger them further).
The stinginess of the Saudi elite and other Middle-Eastern ruling classes doesn't surprise me. Their domestic policies indicate they couldn't care less about human life - including Muslim lives. The US and other major powers should disinvest from all those regimes. Hopefully without economic support they would be destroyed in a revolution they so richly deserve.
