| US Ups Aid in Tsunamia Crisis to 350 million |
|
The BBC is reporting this right now.
I guess the man who went on the air and said that rich western countries are stingy made an incredible impact. Now all the Western countries are trying to show who is the least stingy.
The important thing is that Aid is made available. And from countries all around the globe. That's certainly a good thing.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
I think they said $35 million at first just so they could get the words "increased tenfold" broadcast over and over again.

thats good news, however we got here, if this turns out to be true and not just another loan then it could make other countries step up even more
