In a way, letting Jesse's girlfriend die was saving Jesse. I saw his lack of action there as not so much not caring about her, but wanting to get Jesse away from the junkies that would end up killing him.
Gail was purely self-preservation. Walt would have been dead. The gun was literally pointed at his head.

All good points. The difference between Walt and Jesse is that Walt is without much remorse. He had some regret over what happened to Jane (Fly) and Krazy 8, but he's always found a way to justify the means. And as the ends have become more and more vicious, it requires an increasingly vicious bastard to accept them without remorse.
