Proactive help is a good thing, Spexx, but I think you've lost sight of the scale. Even if we'd gone so far as to give all of Haiti free rebar for life, then the earthquake would have struck rural Mexico instead. Or Costa Rica, or Puerto Rico, or Cuba, or Guatemala... We help a whole lot of countries a fair amount, but you can never predict who's going to end up needing more help than others.
