The notion of a failed country having to deal with disaster themselves because...well, they are a failed country, is just a modern version of Machiavelli. I pass.
However I do agree that the mechanisms in place (if there are actually any in existence) for taking a country and leading it from a dictatorship into a proper democracy are all a fail. Haiti is just in that juncture and it should be no surprise to anyone it wasn't ready yet for this disaster.
So I do believe we have some sort of responsibility towards Haiti. We are the nation builders. And as much as it may hurt some minds, were today Haiti the dictatorship of 30 years ago, and I have very little doubts in my mind, they would have been better prepared then they are today.
