The Haiti response is not screwed up and the Katrina response was not screwed up. These disasters over large areas are incredibly difficult to address adequately within a few days, and there are all sorts of complicating factors such as the two or three days of dangerous inland weather after Katrina hit, and the clogged airport on Haiti and the poor road system that is also cluttered and damaged.

The problem is nitwit reporters and politicians who have no understanding of the situations, or are deliberately criticizing for political purposes, and most likely both.

Also, it took reputable charities here in the U.S. several days to gather supplies, volunteer medical personnel, aircraft (and fuel to pay for the trip), etc.

Its not like Haiti is a couple of hours drive away. While I sympathize with the plight of the Haitians it takes time to do the above before going down there.

Amen.
