Be thankful that America is putting the less fortunate before its own needy citizens and giving 35million.

I totally agree. CNN, BBC, and other news channel shows that the US IS the top donor (contrary to the UN statements). Not only that, I know that our state's search and rescue team has left. That's over 2,000 people - more than the population of some of the island there! My company (and many private companies and individuals) also matched over $2Mil USD of donations. Yes, we did lose five co-workers (confirmed). The local TV channels so far has collected almost $5Mil to give the the Red Cross. I hope this is enough to meet the UN and Europe standards.
