| The fire is everything...  | Interesting to see Norway on top of that list..  It's even possible that the government will give more. Many "high ranking" Norwegians wants us to give around 6-10 Billion NOK (around 6 NOK = 1 USD)... Over 400,000,000 NOK have been donated to aid organizations so far, and there will be a big TV charity tonight so that number should go up even more... But I'm getting a bit "worried" that we may ge giving "too much" now..  ref my post here: http://www.military-quotes.com/forum...?p=80571#80571 |

| Optio  | Taiwan has donated US $50 mil from the government and the private donation is already over US $57 mil as well. With a population of 23 mi, I thought the list should include Taiwan... Owell I guess I know why we are not on the list  |

| Centurion | Donations of money is great, how many nations are there with helos, ships and "feet on the street" in force helping these people? Money means nothing without getting the aid to the people, just ask the people of Africa.
