To be fair, America(ns) has/have donated lots of things besides just money. They've send troops over there on aircraft-carriers loaded with bulldozers, cranes, and dump trucks.
They've sent planes with first-aid kits and MREs (Meals Ready to Eat), as well as blankets, pillows, bottled water, and what have you.
So, to say that we're stingy, that kinda p*sses me off. :angry:

Wasn't the stingy comment way back when the US had promised something like 20 million? Wasn't it retracted something like the next day?
Who the hell is calling the US stingy? I haven't seen a lot of that talk on this board, yet apparently you guys have plenty of hurt feelings about it. We've got some real horn-tooters over here. Throw a couple bucks at some starving homeless people and all of a sudden you're beyond criticism? Give me a break.
