The United States has been known to give initial aid then stop before everything is taken care of. For example, even in New Orleans there are still many people without housing and the necessities to live. Not much else has happened after the first year of aid. The U.S. waited until the worst was over in Rwanda before it decided to send troops AFTER the genocide was over.
My accusations of the United States may be a bit harsh, but they need to be. The country doesn't do all it can to prevent genocide; it essentially turns a blind eye because it doesn't want to get involved (though it can be controlled). Even when the country itself isn't threatened, it still decides not to intervene. There may be other things of 'higher priority' for the government to worry about, but honestly, what can be of higher priority when thousands of innocent people are being murdered EACH DAY?
