Moral obligation, yes. Read your bible. Most certainly we have an obligation Biblically. But is it government's job? After all, with government it is not charity, it is force. Bush is committing us to "charity" whether we like it or not. And that is not charity, and I have grave doubts whether it is government's job.

God gave the Great Commission to the churches, not the government. As a Christian I have an obligation to feed the hungry, help the poor and the widows and orphans but I wouldn't want to give that job to any governmental agency or the UN. I would support individual Christian missionaries and organizations in those countries.
