It depresses me that places like Haiti with potential such as oceanside view for residences and resorts and Gaza with the same and under Hamas cannot seem to utilize and exploit these resources to the good of all their people.

Not our circus, and definitely not our clowns. Let them fix their own problems.
“Do it for the children”
Sorry...time to go back to isolationism. We can take care of ourselves.
Oh,no. He may get eaten again...
