OMG it's actually a very beautiful country. Yeah, I've been there, it's poor, but the people are kind and it's NOT a sewer. Detroit, yes.



That's a sweet thing to say. I think you're a good person. Thing is you could drop a trillion dollar money bomb on Haiti and it would not do the people a bit of good. I know you think I'm callous for saying this but iiwii. We could pay to rebuild all the buildings (and we will) foot the bill for the entire “international” humanitarian effort (and we will) and the Haitians will still have absolutely no idea what the hell rebar is and completely blame the U. S. for the situation they live in.

Where will the Iranians help out? Their forces actually have earthquake search and rescue experience, but are much too busy blowing university professors. What will the Chinese response be I mean besides a boat load of cadmium laced jewelry? No it will be us and us alone and we will be re-payed only in growing resentment from the rest of the world.
