God blessed every country in its own way. Here,in America,we did not sit back but worked with our gift. We took what was given and rather than ask for more we built on our gift.
All i have heard from Haiti is wheres the help and the piling of dead bodies in the streets to protest the slowness of aid.
I am not stating the earthquake was in any way wrath or something they brought upon themselves. The aftermath however is something different. Years of aid,stolen and wasted. Now when tragedy strikes all they can do is complain they’re not being helped enough.
I find it difficult to have overmuch compassion for they who don’t,wont and have never helped themselves. They must take responsibility for their own government as we finally seem to be doing here. Only then will they become what they can be and stop being the basket case of the caribbean.
Few have better work ethics than Haitians.
I spent five years there and have the utmost of respect for many of the people.
Problem is in 1984 we sent Duvalier to France and there was no plan in place to liberate the country. Many are uneducated and don't have a clue what free market capitalism or Democracy even mean.
We(I say we since we flew Duvalier to France) have left a backward third world poor, poor country adrift for over 20 years and now you see the result.
It's been one dictator after another and probably will remain so.
The Haitians are using whatever they can to rescue trapped people. They are disposing of their dead the best they can. There are pockets of trouble, but nothing massive. The whole of the society in Port au Prince was wiped out in thirty seconds on Tuesday. The government--gone. Jobs, stores, the economy--gone. Water, electric, sewage utilities--gone. Hospitals, clinics--gone.
I just saw Steve Harrigan on Fox report he saw Haitians, not foreign aid workers, distributing rice meals to their fellow Haitians.
The Haiti people have held up quite well considering all they've been through in the past four days.
Our rule of thumb is get the aid in by 72 hours. We haven't done that, thanks to our kow-towing to the bureaucracy.
they want and want and yet we have given them billions over the last few years , where did the money go
their president leave because he can’t live in his palace but we get the blame because they want more and it is not coming quick enough
since when did they become another state?
we’re doing the best we can and if it were me over there I would be happy with what I could get
and no way should we bring them voer ehre like obama wants to.
if we make them sta there and let them build their own country then they will have more pride for it once it has been built.
notice how they mention the first black president too.
