Well, I'm not telling you that you should. But the many reaons that are expounded include
- to make them like you
- to help foster democracy
- to help create a free economy (that will purchase US goods)
- because your country has signed treaties agreeing to do so
oh, and of course, let's not foget
- because it's the humanitarian thing to do

Why SHOULD we give money to people who in turn give it to our enemies?

I never said you should. That has got nothing to do with this thread. What we're talking about is the US refusing aid to countries that refuse to pervert their own laws with regards to the ICC; a treaty that is ratified International Law and accepted by all of the US allies.
