1st: A large number of people who are donating and helping in the Haiti crisis probably have regular causes the contribute to. They could be diverting funds from their norm and less pressing issues, or just giving for the Haiti crisis in addition to their norm. That being said, we (the US) have a large amount of disposable income, and there is a lot of selfishness.

2nd: As much as I want our troops in Afghanistan/Iraq to live decently (I have friends there too.) I'd much rather solve the problem of them having shortages by bringing them home. Plus, that sounds more like a supply requisition failure or mismanagement than a lack of funds. Although the troops lives are in danger, a lack of TP and toothpaste isn't nearly as pressing as having a building on top of you.

3rd: Why be upset about US children not getting adopted in favor of foreign children? What about all the parents who goes through loads of cash for fertility treatments and invitro, they could be adopting. Those medical costs add up to probably the cost of adoption or more, can take years, and potentially hazardous to the health of mom. I personally think of adoption (from any country) as being more beneficial to humanity and the child. That's my personal belief and choice, I'm not willing to force it on others.
The "red tape" in the US may suck, but I imagine it helps children from being adopted and really pressed into various forms of slavery, which does happen in countries with less "red tape." Like 'fobble said, its difficult to adopt a newborn in the US because of supply and demand, not just because of red tape.
