US Tsunami Aid = 42.27 Hours in Iraq

I just saw this on Boing Boing. (I know, I need to stop reposting stuff from there.) Anyway, this was too good to pass up. This dude, Frank Boosman posted a very revealing calculation on his blog this morning. In short, the amount of aid the U.S. government has promised to tsunami victims in Southeast Asia is equal to approximately 42.27 hours worth of military expenditures in Iraq. Link.
