Not you. It's the people who are giving to charities since the earthquake.

CAIRO – Rare torrential rains across the Middle East swept away homes, marooned resort towns and killed seven people Monday, including a British tourist, in what officials are calling the worst flooding in at least a decade.

The flooding along Egypt's Red Sea coast, the border with Israel and in the south left six people dead. It also damaged the roads leading to the resorts in the Sinai desert and brought down telephone and power lines.

Dam the US! We should have been sending Egypt more yachts.

What???? You really believe this was preventable by the US?

How bout that Tsunami? Should we have given them a 50' high wall?
We cannot prevent natural disasters - Hell we have cities built below sea level right here in the US, ferchrissakes.

We already do help proactively - to the tune of untold BILLIONS upon BILLIONS. We cannot fix every ill in the world. It is not possible. We do the best we can and when something happens we help our "neighbors" (many of whom HATE US) in their time of need as well. Just paying for everything any other country could ever need isn't a solution. Its idiotic actually.
