Uk is now the biggest aid donor with £50m given, that made me smile

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4133987.stm

USA needs to pledge more, I'm sure they sent only £30m...and look in the difference in size between the 2 countries hake:

I dont see why we're not pledging that much. We're literally swimming in money, and using it as our napkins and neckties. Im not all too political, but we're in some major debt, and with the war in Iraq, I dont think we could pledge as much as we would be capable of pledging if those things didnt exist, but then again, I dont think the president gives a damn. He's gonna leave us after his four years still stuck in the same place.

Colin Powell said in an interview that the long term contribution that the US will make in terms of money, people, and assets will exceed $1 billion.

The US has already sent a fleet of planes, ships, and people to the area to assist in the relief effort.

I don't understand why after a tragedy like this people have to get into a pissing match about whose dick is bigger than whose. If you can lend support to the effort, good.

If my Family and everyone I ever knew died, my house was destroyed, my city was in ruins. I would be dead inside. Some of these people must be just incredibly in shock.

build a city and attach a whole bunch of hot air ballons to it so it floats in the sky.
