Ok all, I tried to stay quiet I really did.
The US has donated well over 300 million dollars to this disaster already, the sent the brilliant man that is Colin Powell over there to assess things and more is coming I am sure.
Not only that but the US military has deployed more men and equipment to SE Asia in response to this disaster, that for anything else in the area since the vietnam war. Insulting the generosity of my country in this matter is personally insulting to me. The US gives 40% of all aid worldwide every year and charities in the country send millions more.

edit addition And another thing...looking only at the monetary donations a country has made is also very nearsighted, Have you any idea how much the deployment of all the troops and equipment we have send over there runs? any idea...didnt think so, the US is flying more helicopter rescue and relief missions than the countries themselves are able to! You people are really arrogant to assume the US is stingy and trying to alienate people in an event like this....youre making my head throb
