Nowhere near.
I want our money back.
We have no obligation whatsoever to send a single penny to Haiti, and with the way our economy is going, every penny counts.
Nothing wrong with wanting something in return for our money.

You know a quick look online shows that Saudi arabia sits in the arabian plate. And it's relatively close to the western edge of the plate. I'd be curious to see where the oil wells are in relation to the edge of that plate.
It would be extremely interesting if the edges of the subduction somehow brought up oil closer to the surface. If this is indeed true then Haiti might be sitting on liquid gold.

Grab enough oil to recoup the cost of the aid we have sent them now and over the years.
It's only fair.

Haiti also wouldnt have it as bad if they didnt irresponsibly reproduce faster than rabbits.
A little personal responsibility goes a long way.

I completely support cutting off all aid to Israel and letting it die a slow death on its own. Without us, Israel would not exist. That is not necessarily a bad thing. We have no duty nor obligation to support Israel.

b) The bible, and religion along with it, is the biggest scam ever perpetrated on humankind.
So the answer to your question is a definitive NO.
