Here's an idea: Stop making war in Iraq for a week and send the money to tsunami victims

The Bush Administration is upset because a UN official said the US was "stingy." Let's see, we initially offered $15 million for tsunami relief. Then we upped that to $35 million. Now Colin Powell is whining that the US will spend over a billion dollars on relief by the time it's over. I say this: It costs $1 billion a week for the war in Iraq. Let's do that Frankenstein game - where everyone freezes in their position - for a week and send that money to tsunami victims in Sri Lanka, Thailand, India, and the whole area. Reports this morning show 67,000 dead. That number is skyrocketing.
