The Bush administration yesterday pledged $15 million to Asian nations hit by a tsunami that has killed more than 22,500 people, although the United Nations' humanitarian-aid chief called the donation "stingy."
Context, context...
The war on terror will take center stage at next month’s second inauguration for President Bush in Washington, D.C. ...The estimated budget for the event is $30-40 million, but that will not cover security costs.

So, this rodent of a man who calls himself president believes that he is more than TWICE as important as the thousands upon thousands of dead and injured people in Asia! This makes me sick to my stomach!

Later: now that there has been an outcry, Powell has said that the $15 million is just the beginning, but we'll see what really happens. Wonder why they didn't say that at the time?! Now that the death toll is an astonishing 50,000+, they will need all the help that they can get!
