That's not the same thing as being cheap with the tsunami response. If you have a justification for a US editorial calling America cheap when it comes to disaster relief, please share. Australia has initially pledged $35 million Britain has initially pledged $37 million Denmark has initially pledged pledge $20 million Japan has initially pledged $38 million European Union has initially pledged $57 million. Norway has initially pledged $10 million. Our initial pledge was for $4 million but it is now $35 million. Still, that is not generous by any means. Nevertheless, that is all relative. Contributions are only going to make a small dent in the misery that people will suffer because of the Tsunami. It is all in the spirit it is given. Anything is better than nothing. It is all voluntary. We don't have to give anything. Our guiding principles have everything to do with how we cooperate to help others on the planet.
