“but I’m not so sure if the tragic events here even matter to some populations around the world, do they?”
They matter to us; that’s really all that counts. When the chips are down, the United States is the one that can be counted on.
These are our neighbors essentially; we have to take care of our backyard.
How about the other “neighbors” attached to the same backyard pony up a little something?
The idea that because we have it, we have to give it to someone who didn’t earn it is no different from the ideas underlying some taxation, “social justice” and zero’s redistribution of wealth.
We don’t “OWE” Haiti anything. If any one “owes” Haiti anything, it’s the French. If we decide to GIVE aid because we want to, fine.
Haiti may matter to you personally for some reason, and that’s your business. But please don’t presume to speak for me as an American and what my responsibilities, as an American citizen, are to Haiti or any other parasitic country.
I strongly object to our military resources being dispatched to Haiti. The theme of Haitian ‘entitlement’ has already started with rat congressional politicians.
