Re: Massive Earthquake Devastates Haiti
Could be half a million dead.
On the politics: having a failed state near us is bad. As a foreign policy issue, giving aid is a good idea. On the moral issue: we are in a position to help these people, and almost no other country is in such a position. Some would argue that we have an out and out responsibility to help, in the same way one ought to help if you see a person collapse in front of you on the street. And even if it's not obligatory, it would be a good and right thing to do, in my opinion. I may not be able to buy an extra video game, but that may allow some unfortunate people to survive this disaster.
