You are correct, that's a huge problem. We have the resources, just not the ambition to establish programs to help the people who are really in need. Hell, even some of the people in need don't have the ambition it takes to get back on their own two feet.
And as far as gas prices, what's the use in going into a POS country and blowing it to hell if we can't even get some cheap fuel out of it?
