I think you are being unfair. Bush is not perfect, but I don't think he's cold hearted. Bush set up an aids fund in the amount of $15 billion. Is that cold hearted? No one knew the magnitude of the disaster in the first day or two. Most countries started to announce donations that were very small. But in the succeeding days as the magnitude began to become clear, governments across the world responded in kind by bumping up their contribution figures. In fact, right now, the U.S. is the largest cash donor nation in the world to the tsunami relief effort, followed by Japan and Britain. cnn.com "The United States is offering $35 million, Japan $30 million and the United Kingdom $28 million. Australia and Germany have pledged $27 million, France $20.4 million and Saudi Arabia $10 million. Pentagon officials said Tuesday the United States is also making plans to send ships, supplies, helicopters and, if needed, hundreds of troops to assist in humanitarian relief."
