It's not just the US. We're all us rich bastards obligated to help out the less fortunate. It's not even necessarily altruism. If proper aid had been delivered in Somalia to begin with, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

I don't think expecting the US to make the first move is unreasonable, though. The way I see it, you guys put yourself in that position. You keep going on about how you're the leaders of the free world. Okay, fine. Act like it.

EDIT - It had occurred to me as well and I had intended to point out that arming civilian cargo carriers could complicate docking in foreign ports.
