Britain has pledged $96M, which is why I said "about 1/3"

Okay. You got me there. I was recalling a quote in response to Powell's
initial offer of $15M in aid (which was embarassing enough), which *was*
less than half of the $40M the Republicans plan to spend on their party. I
feel so foolish. I mean wow! Almost 90% of our party budget to help Asia get
through a disaster that has claimed more than 30 times the number of lives
lost in the WTC. Pardon me while I place my hand on heart and start singing
the star spangled banner, will you?
