As pointed out by dargie:

Initial amount alloted to the war in Iraq by the U.S.: $87 billion
Initial amount alloted to the Asia tsunami/earthquake disaster relief by the U.S.: $15 million

Granted, like I said, it's the initial amount and the government plans on pledging more, but put the two numbers next to one another and they're still pretty sad.

$21 billion out of that number were for reconstruction, iirc.
