If we can spend somewhere between 80 - 200 billion dollars ousting Sadam. Yet only cough up 20 - 30 million for disaster that will likely have a death toll between 30,000 and 50,000 then I too call us (the USA) stingy.
The Muslim world is already divided (at best) when it comes to the USA. Why not try winning their hearts and minds by putting more effort into helping than destroying. Why not use this as an opportunity to demonstrate that our religious differences are small compared to the compassion we share for each other. The victims here are innocent men, women and chldren simply engaging in their daily activities when in a second their whole world came crashing in on them. There should be no politics involved. Do the right thing and help as much as possible as fast as possible. Besides it doesn't have to be cash donations. Send US crops, and manufactured items. Support our economy while providing assistance for those who truly need our help.
