I wonder how long it will take for the US to Triple its commitment.
It would be funny if the aid money became a pissing contest between the world superpowers. At least it would do some good.

That's good to hear.
I think the tsunami relief efforts are overrated, though.
I have ties to the Austrailian mafia..

It already has become a pissing contest. I think that the world has rounded up enough money to help those people out. We dont need to go overboard like we did with the 9/11 fundraising. I know this is on a much larger scale, but I heard that 9/11 families got like 1.5 million each in relief payments. That seems like a lot to me.

I wonder if anybody had family members they hated die in 9/11. That was a pretty fair trade then huh?
That is wrong, I know. :D

....Yeah, my only concern is all of this money ending up in the hands of Muslim extremists in a country that has the largest Muslim population in the world.

Not all of it obviously, but some will.
Hopefully they will use it for relief and not terrorism.
The aid amounts from Muslim countries in the Middle East so far has been PATHETIC.

Well one way to ensure everything goes right is don't give them too much money. Just provide them with what they need..
