Sorry but i disagree on some levels, when a 100,00 people in an instant, and almost entire countries are devestated, i think that aid is need by all that can afford it.
The U.S. has definately stepped up, but more is needed. Also, who says that we can't fix those problems in our country and this one at the same time? What exactly is Congress for? Who says we can't start private donations and help this people; peoples whose entires lives are destroyed, no homes, no food, no water, family members gone. We are privilaged in the U.S. we have those BASIC needs (for the most part). Those people have NOTHING.
When over 100,000 peoples lives are taken, you don't ask others "why don't you give more money?" , "If have given enough money, who don't you step up?". You just do do it with out question.
Think of the parable of the good samaritan in the bible. Think how that applies.
I don't mean to sound condecesending or like i know it all, but in this instances i think we should just help and help somemore.
