I was just joking but agree 100% with you. Its sad to see people saying stuff like america hasnt donated enough or just doesnt care. Bush just can't take money when he wants and send it wherever he sees fit. Donating hundreds of millions of dollars requires the ok from congress. These people should focus more on actually helping the people instead of comparing digits.

I don't doubt the US will do more as well as other nations. And.. yes, agree Bush is the same any any leader - they just can't make statements as they see fit about giving taxpayers money away. Eg.. the UK govt muttered utter crap about donating $1.8m .. big mistake!! :-) That ain't enough to have a party!:-) That has since risen to around $100m, but even that is a piss in the ocean.
All this is far too early to start condemning/praising/whatever countries for what they may or not do. It's much more relevant to be helping the people in that region.
Until the degree of damage is known, it's hard to say much, - but sure looks VERY bad and probably the biggest natural disaster in our lifetimes.
