So much aid gets stolen that only the military can get it in - and that’s why, right after the earthquake, Haiti refused to let the US military distribute aid. Unless the Haitian government can steal it, they don’t want to let it into the country.

The big problem with Haiti right now actually is political. It’s election was stolen to put into office the designated heir of its current corrupt (Clinton and Aristide connected) president. But as Mary Anastasia O’Grady pointed out today, the US wants nothing to do with this (Bambi is also on the side of the corruptocrats) and actually instead has been expending all of its diplomatic energies in trying to make sure the Communist who tried to take over Honduras last year is spared any prison time. Bambi and company are still mad that the Hondurans prevented a coup there and he just won’t let it go - while Haiti collapses because the stolen election is the final straw.

You forgot the unkindest cut of all.
Like all useless countries worldwide run by Kleptocracies, even assuming that they would permit the US to transport and distribute the aid, the government there demands that we pay import duty, landing fees, docking fees, etc, on every last item to be distributed!

With sincerest apologies, I'm afraid I must pass.
