Global Pissing Contest (The Good Kind)

The SE Asian tsunamis appear to have triggered a massive global charity race. The US of A, after offering a piddly $15 million at first, upped its offer to $350 mil to compete with Japan's half-billion pledge. But the US could hardly get unzipped in this global pissing contest when Australia chipped in $764 million, passing Germany by $90,000,000. Whose going to step up next and earn bragging rights at the United Nations' cocktail hour?
