Problem: America spends a boatload of money to piss a lot of people off while people in the homeland suffer and die of stupid, solvable things.
Answer: This is a more complex issue than I can cover here, but the jist is this: the US needs to quit inserting itself into everyones' business. It costs money, it kills people, and it allows us to ignore problems here at home. We also need to quit this double standard when it comes to dictatorships that we like vs. the ones we don't like.
