To put things into perspective, and to ignore the sarcasm...
1) The US didn't ask for international aid
2) 13 people died in hurrican Charlie. THIRTEEN
3) Over 150,000 people appear to have died with the tsunami
4) Whole swathes of the planet have been affected
5) Hurrican Charlie affected 20 counties (that were eligible for Federal aid)
6) The death toll from the tsunami could possibly double, due to disase and lack of water/food
To compare hurricane Charlie with the tsunami is the height of stupidity.
That's like me comparing a grazed knee with a beheading.
