Governments are amazingly venal.

People are often venal. Does government make people that way, or do only such people seek office?

People seek to rule the lives of others (i.e., seek roles in political leadership) because they want to rule the lives of others.

If thats the case just pull our people and supplies out and let nature take its course.

I care about people, even if petty tyrants want to crap on everything. There are many people in desperate need of medical attention, clean water, etc. I don't turn my back on them just because their leaders are corrupt and despicable.

I'd agree if I thought for one second that the haitian government was going to help it own people, but since it never has before

I care about people as well. But I won't bend over for a dictator or a corrupt government.

You should read Karl Popper's critique of Plato in The Open Society and Its Enemies.

I wrote a paper for a philosophy class once correlating Platos allegory of the cave to Beethovens 9th
