(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I would like to start by saying I am not trying to be ignorant, or cold, I understand the devistation and loss of life in Haiti. If you have family there then I am very sorry for all of them. But how is what happened in Haiti more important to our govt then the victims of Katrina. I go to New Orleans alot and there are still houses with the number of dead paitned on the door. Our govt let people die in the sun on Interstate 90 just outside the Superdome waiting on aid. But we can get a ship (Red Cross "Comfort") with 500 nurses and doctors aboard to them in two days? Makes no sense to me. I know the US wants to be the "Big Brother" to every country so that we always have allies, but I find this distressing. WE have children not getting three meals a day, not going to school, being raised by "mom" because dad is either in another country fighting a war, or was killed there. Once agian I know people will flame me for this, but is my opinion.

Because the U.S. in the only country that helps all the others. We are the "peace keeping" country.

Causing huge disruption in the middle east is "peace keeping"?

We went there to restore order...which is peace keeping apparently.

what?! we were everything but peace keeping last year. when bush was president all we did was fight and we still do. were not a peace keeping country

Off topic fellas, the question is really why are these countries people more important to our Govt than our own? That's why I used the Katrina example.

Yeah like everyone else said US helps other country's and fight other peoples war because no ones technology is or ever will be better then the US

I think this helping Haiti thing is bullshit, like Batman said we care more about other countries than we do us. We should get back on our feet before we help others.

I think the US is trying to restore its image, and possibly some profit off of Haiti after it has been restored. I mean, we tried to invade it back around 1917.

Obama is a weak president. He wants everyone to like him and everyone to get along so he helps people. He is weak and here is proof...

We were attacked by terrorists one time the entire 8 years Bush was in office. As soon as they did it Bush got furious and went to kill them. We have been attacked or have been attempted to be attacked on at least there times in the 1st year since Obama has been in office and he does not comment on it or anything. He is a punk!

Nah chinas is better.
