I'd rather not support global welfare for those that can't handle life and I think we already tried supporting distant lands with money to gain resources.

Moralism: Screw it. While I obviously don't want to waste money to worsen it, I also don't think it's worth it to bribe people into liking us, mostly since it is an indirect bribe at best.

Radical Islam: It's quite clear that the US is only good at worsening the situation. See: Iraq. I'd say it's better to not touch anything if everything you touch turns to shit.

Oil: Yes, let's spend money on something that isn't even guaranteed or direct so we can make a financial gain, maybe. Sounds like gambling to me.

There isn't even any proof that aid to Africa helps people in the long run. Actually, it is beginning to look like it keeps the situation in a perpetual shithole.

Well, if that's how you feel I encourage you to write your congressman and have him vote against all future aid to poor people outside the US. Perhaps you can even convince him to sponser a bill mandating that the US curl up into a little ball around its vast economic abundence and pretend that the rest of the world doesn't exist. Its so annoying when they interrupt our first world lives by complaining about drought, epidemic, genocide and starvation.

There isn't even any proof that aid to Africa helps people in the long run. Actually, it is beginning to look like it keeps the situation in a perpetual shithole.

And clearly helping the people is your highest priority....
