If I may step up on my soapbox for a minute. . . .
It's not worth the wear and tear on your keyboard to get caught up in these debates about who's more generous/stingy. This is an enourmous catastrophe, and all the world's citizens need to step up to the plate.
So far, the US has pledged $350million, and the total cummulative pledges of world governments (including the US) have reached about $500million. Early estimates suggest that over $2billion of relief is needed, so private citizens across the world need to step up and give as their means will allow.
Ok, I'm stepping off the soapbox now.
