And if we had done nothing? The screams would have been just as loud. All the protesting countries combined couldn’t provide the help we are giving the Haitian people. They should just STFU and allow a country that is willing to help with no strings attached to do its job.
From what I could tell in the beginning..the Haitian government was doing no organizing, NATO was doing no organizing, nobody was. A whole lot of people were starving and the country was descending into anarchy.
We are able, and willing, to do the job. We didn't stay in Indonesia after the tsunami, or any other area we have helped in. We won't stay in Haiti.
I have only one thing to say to this bunch of criticizers..
Lead..Follow or get out of the way and shush up.
