I have just heard that the United States is offering $14 million in relief to the devastated region in southeast Asia. I wanted to throw up when I heard the words come out of Colin Powell's mouth. According to the Center for American Progress, the war in Iraq is costing $177 million per day. But I guess a little pocket change is kinder than carpet bombing Sri Lanka.
