Some countries actually criticize the US for that amount because it doesn't stack up on a GDP basis, but those idiots forget about private donations such as these that is expected to top $700 million!:

U.S. Private-Sector Donations for Tsunami Relief Top $360 Million
Total nongovernmental U.S. contributions expected to reach $700 million

Washington – U.S. private-sector contributions to tsunami relief already have topped $360 million and are expected to reach nearly $700 million when planned fund raising is complete, according to figures released January 11 by the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University.

American corporations and nongovernmental organizations are contributing cash, supplies and services to assist in immediate relief efforts as well as in long-term recovery and rehabilitation projects, according to the center.

Corporate donors include companies such as ChevronTexaco Corp., which has sent $490,000 to the Thai Red Cross and local relief agencies; General Mills Inc., which has spent $750,000 on food, water and shelter for victims; and Levi Strauss & Co., which has contributed $160,000 to local relief agencies.

Foundations established by large corporations also are giving generously, among them the Abbot Laboratories Fund, pledging $4 million in health care products and cash; the GE [General Electric] Foundation, contributing $10 million; and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, created by the Microsoft chief executive and his wife, pledging $3 million...

Here is a link breaking down the donations by the countries government. Add another $700 mil to the US total and put it in the "We Care" column. (Oh, there is none. I guess that's because the US is the only country able ,too.) Then figure the percentages.
