Yeah - it's one of the few areas of language where I much prefer the American system over the international one, though it's also one of the relatively few areas where Australian English follows American rather than (at least what used to be) British English.
Economist Jeffrey Sachs estimates that malaria, which kills 2 million children annualy, could be contained for a mere US$3 Billion per year. Think about it. $100 Billion to kill 200,000 people in Iraq each year, or $3 Billion to save 2 million children in Africa each year. Hmmmm.
