Well, other comments were along the lines of the US giving hundreds of millions, perhaps billions, in aid. The comments were about it being spread out so the next few years are covered.
I guess we'll have to wait and see. But this idea of it all being a competition - they seem to be propogating that all by themselves.
Have been thinking on the public donations here, too. While it's great to see such a response, BBC Children in Need raises around 30 million each year. We have 60 million people in this country - that's 50p per person. I know, I shouldn't think of it like that.
