$100 million is a lot of money.

Like Condi Rice, I was even more touched by Sri Lanka offering its $25,000. She kept mentioning it and didn't shed a tear but she came close.

Qatar can afford it. Sri Lanka can't afford anything.

But Qatar was our command/control center and welcomed our basing forces there and they still do to this day. And unlike with the Saudis, I haven't heard about them forcing our servicewomen into burqas or forbidding their driving.

Thank you, Qatar! Thank you, Sri Lanka!

Thank you for pointing out the Sri Lanka donation. That is akin to a child putting a quarter in the collection plate.

I don't mean that to be patronizing. Just that sometimes the smallest donations mean the most.

No matter which country is sending us help, IMHO we should send them our heartfelt and gracious thank yous.

My hugs to Qatar, Sri Lanka and all nations who have helped our fellow man in the southern United States.
