I totally disagree that the US government does not care about humanitarian issues. I think it does. It does not always have the money, courage, resources etc. to deal with them. One thing we should constantly have going is ships full of donated goods to poor countries..we have so much surplus in basements and garages here..could clothe and blanket millions of refugees for example. We are a country with a good heart but not always the best executors of efficiency. If there were no danger involved, who would you want if you were say just out of a tsunami or earthquake? Who would be the most efficient, productive? I know Turks come in with rescue dogs really quickly.
