Well lets see....if every American donated just $1 then that would be $280 million dollars.....so $1 is lot of money aint it...

=/. we are still raising money here, today we had a major cricket game with international cricket stars playing. america can do more and so can many more countries. australia is doing so much because of our close friendship with indonesia and such other countries.

This isn't a competition...

The amount of aid raised in the world is the biggest since the world wars. Stop comparing the amount of money that each country donates, that is absolutely besides the point.

Furthermore, aid should not only be raised now, think of the money that is needed in 6 months. When those people there are STILL suffering and STILL wont have houses to live in, yet all the cameras will be gone by that time...

Also, while the eyes of the world are focused on this tsunami disaster, there are millions of people still suffering of hunger in other parts of the world.

Im not saying its a compitition! im just saying how much more countrys can help! Im not saying America sucks and their not genourous, America is cool and in fact i am going there. Im just saying how much they can help more..thats all.

Money isn't everything. eg: if you do want to compare things: America is helping a lot with its vehicles; the majority of the helicopters, ships, and other logistic aid comes from America and not from other countries, that costs money too...

Each country (and this goes even for the individual person in each country) helps out as it/he/she can. $1 can mean a lot for a individual person, while $100 seems a small amount for another...

I agree with you but SOME people in countries all over the world who can afford to donate, dont. I feel so sorry for all the people who are victoms of this terribble tsnami disaster. I just want to say that if you CAN donate then donate please it will make a diffrence.
