For the most part, I agree with the_magician's comment for that last question. My answer was pretty much "both". The world can be divided and they should help themselves rather than relying on us, but it is also made up of people - who, generally, deserve our help equally.
I answered something must be done to all except the last one regarding the different continents. My logic is going to be a little flawed here. First off, I'm in Australia, and the next country over is probably New Zealand, a country which would probably really really need some help in such a situation, and we'd really be obliged. The next continent over, is Asia, which is quite a different story. The thing is, there are rules between different continents - and countries if you look further out - which may suggest that they don't want our help. In which case, interference will just make things worse.
Hell, check out the war on terror between the almighty US and terror-ridden Afghanistan. Textbook.

Glad to hear it. Means you're dealing with the world in a nuanced fashion :->

Who? The torturers or the people being tortured?
