I am just sending more to our troops.
I think this may take attention away from them, and honestly they are more important to me. Though I definately think the US should do as much as we can.

My friend has made it back from his deployment in Iraq. You would enjoy this letter I was sent from him mentioning how he survived an IED attack on his hummer where 3 of the 5 in there had to be flown to a Hospital in DC.
He also mentioned all of the good he saw like Houses, schools and hospitals being built. How the Iraqi children love even one piece of candy that he gives and the toys he passed out which his own children sent for the Iraqi children.
The Tsunami ravaged areas are horrible. Something worth contributing to. However, your point is well taken. The troops are certainly seeing less support now as the media coverage has died down.
