Our caring cousins America have been supplying the world with weapons for years so poorer countries can protect themselves from invaders. If America spent more time helping the rest of the world and bringing some of the more fundamental cultures up to speed they may actually benifit from it, as a more technologically sound environment maybe worth more to them especially if there are no worthy natural resources they can try to claim from their land, but also the people of the 'new world' maybe more inclined to defend and protect what they have built so America could be quids in on the old arms trading again as long as they keep the pressure on. I.R. sounds like a dream but if we ALL start taking care of those close by us then the dream may start to awaken.

Looking at what's happening in Haiti regarding the confusion and delays with the rescue and relief work, a properly co-ordinated ready for action United Nations led International Rescue team does look appropriate.
It would seem obvious that the United Nations is the organisation to look to to set up something like this.

If this International Rescue did exist and they had some kind of huge mechanical mole-like digger, they would probably have rescued those trapped miners by now.
