What are we willing to sacrifice for them? I'm not willing to send sons to die for them. And what did they think was going to happen when they accepted the handouts from the NGO/CIA complex? The failure of the company's Tibetan operation to do anything other than get a bunch of Tibetans killed while carrying American made weapons and keep the Dalai Lama in relatively comfortable exile should have been a clue.
Sacrifice for them? Not much honestly. In these kinds of situations, in fact so very many situations around the world where people need help, you can't help them without being at odds with somebody else and/or ultimately creating some negative side effect in the region.
If group A is persecuting group B, and you start helping B, then you're enemies with A and maybe even killing them or causing death and suffering.
What about an easier scenario involving foreign aid. What if some impoverished African nation is starving. We could give them food, that doesn't make any enemies does it? Maybe not, or maybe the lack of food in the region was one faction's way of waging war on the other and we are ruining it by giving them food. Or maybe the more powerful group just steals the food for themselves and uses to oppress the rest. Okay, let's rule out that. Well, giving people free food in that nation may well drive down the value of food there and put farmers out of business, thus creating a greater need for food in the future. Often times a nation that needs aid needs it because of their own irresponsible policies and by rewarding those policies, you make the nation even more dysfunctional or reliant on aid. If a country of 4 million can only produce enough food for 3 million, are you helping by giving them enough food so that their population increases to 5 million while they can still only produce enough food for 3?
Can we take in oppressed refugees? If we brought in all of the people who want to flee from a country full of hardship and oppression, then it wouldn't be long before they turn the USA (or what ever prosperous nation that accepted them) into the kind of terrible nation that they left in the first place. We see this in both Europe and the USA now with regard to immigration.
Helping people in other countries usually isn't a good idea. There are some exceptions. I think that if a natural disaster ravages a nation then we could send some aid, it was a fluke event and not the result of dysfunction within that nation, it also doesn't put us on one side of another nation's internal conflict.
I have a simple sure fire way that the USA can help other countries immediately: stop bombing them.
