> I’m not saying its a waste of money…BUT, that country had $0 to begin with, I was down there for 3 months back in 2004 when there president fled the country and the rebels took over, of course my unit was the one who had to go restore order…anyway, that country needs a lot of help the place was trashed beforehand, now its just a little worse, they don’t have sanitation depts or sewage plants, this place is an extreme definition of a 3rd world country and we have been dumping money into the country all the time to keep the democracy in order, and that money already comes from our taxes.

> I mean our govt if fawked right now, why aren’t people in other countries donating money to us? We need to fix our own problems let alone fixing everyone else’s, there is this thing called the UN, let them deal with it, which we are apart of, but as just a country it shouldn’t be our responsibility. Just my $0.02.

^Everyone should read this again…Agreed 100%. IMO take care of your own before you take care of others. $100 Million here(haiti), $636 Billion there(Already cleared for Iraq war this year obviously different circumstances but it still adds up) and not to mention all the other countries the U.S pours money into. Has anyone looked up OUR national current deficit lately?
