Why? Tell me WHY??

As you may have heard, most of Pakistan is currently underwater. Approximately 20 million people have been affected by the floods, which have been going on for three weeks now. 1600 have died and millions have been displaced from their homes.

Despite the epic scale of the disaster, the response has been slow. As Laura Freschi reports over at Aid Watch (citing an article from The Chronicle of Philanthropy) eleven U.S.-based charities say that they have received only $5 million in donations for the victims of the flood. Contrast this with the $560 million raised in the 2 1/2 weeks following the earthquake in Haiti in January and you might find yourself wondering "what gives?" So I say to you "what gives?" Why the slow / small response?

Is it because:

A. It owuld be disrespectful to the victims of 9/11
B. We don't take out our checkbooks until the death toll tops 5000, thank you very much?
C. Donating to water-related disasters is soooo 2004?
D. If we don't contribute, then Pakistan will be forced to rely on India's assistance and then they'll send India a thank you fruit basket and it will be the start of a beautiful friendship?
E. Wait, what? There are floods in Pakistan? Shouldn't this be on the news or something?

OK seriously enough of jesting around, I really do wanna know why...
