Well, what happens if we don't help others. For example, we can't just let the people in Haiti suffer. We must have allies.
There are many factors that are too important to ignore, so we have make sure we work on all of them, or else things can get terribly worse.

Actually, in Haiti's case, it had a 400 ft tree in its eye

You don't know what kind of world we actually live in do you? 

Well y'know it's kinda making it up for our badness.

Africans have to walk in bare feet to school evey day. They have to pay for school and school is the only way to get out of poverty and live.

Like I said it costs money. We donate to charities that help these people. We still live in a miles better place than them but we are also kind and donate some of our money to them.

Why do we help support other countires when we can barely support our own? I don't want to be selfish, but were out in different countries and stuff helping people and spending money when its terrible over here, the econmy has been butchered and people from out of the country are buying out all the houses in the US. If this continues to happen I shall consider moving to Canada.

As Gen. Shepard from MW 2 says

We are the most powerful military force in the history of man. Every fight is our fight. Because what happens over here, matters over there. We don't get to sit one out.
