Regarding the disaster in Haiti-- why isn't emergency food, water and basic medical being parachuted in to the people until it can be more properly distributed? --- This has been done in other countries and the air craft need not even land.

Yes, thank you....she does.
Perhaps, in the future, if you have a question for her, you should ask her directly. ;-)
Except when he didn't.

The world distinguishes between act of the American people and acts the American government. I think the world sees American people in a far better light than they did in the American government that started the unfounded war in Iraq, etc. After 9/11, the world saw America favorably, though that quickly changed. Countries, like Iraq, might tell us to butt out when they don't need help for good reason. Similarly, I love that the police are there to help me when I need it but please don't break into my house when I don't.
Personally, I believe helping others is about them. If someone wants to bash people who help, so be it (kind of like Obama being bashed for sending a bipartisan team to help Haiti). It's not always about you. The general "you", not the specific "you."

Where I agree with most of what you said in your post, is it not the American government sending it's military, money, time, and supplies over to Haiti to help those people?
