If you are going to argue the money for tsunami victims, use real information. Donations per capita doesn't really mean anything. A nation having a bunch of people doesn't equate to that country having the wealth to donate $xxxM.

Secondly, there is a big difference between the what is being offered. The US is giving $350M in cash, the US Armed Forces are there and being utilized(no one is counting that cost), plus the dollar donations from the private sector. Now, other countries are making their offers in the form of grants and LOANS. This is not the same thing.
