President Bush on Saturday:
Christmastime reminds each of us that we have a duty to our fellow citizens, that we are called to love our neighbor just as we would like to be loved ourselves. By volunteering our time and talents where they are needed most, we help heal the sick, comfort those who suffer, and bring hope to those who despair, one heart and one soul at a time.
Initial Bush administration aid package for suffering tsunami victims: $15 million.
Amount spent each day in occupation of Iraq/Afghanistan: $140-$280 million.
