It's true - as you claimed - that Muricans frequently rise to occasions. 9/11 made that evident, even if the disbursement made some other matters evident too. I think you also made the case well enough that, Shrub's initial number was conjured up in maybe? understandable ignorance of the scale of the disaster.

Still, Muricans are not the only ones who rise to occasions. And since we live in a capitalist-variant sort of world, Nations Do / Are Expected\ufffd to signify that they are not entirely spreadsheet-driven - by formally alloting some portion of their treasure, without needing needling.

Always shall the CPAs Count, in any case - it's what CPAs Do. It's of only passing note that some pretty non-rich countries grasped the situation quite quicker than Numbah One, (and made that 0.7% GDP metric look pretty pathetic). Now all that remains is the work and seeing if, this time: the pledges actually arrive. All around.
