Looks like the military didn't like my idea of air drops for food and water. Their concern was the drops would cause local rioting as folks scrambled for the goods.

What a tough call, have a riot now or wait for a riot when they are really hungry and thirsty?

It would be wonderful if Haiti would turn out to be the LESSON it should be. Multiple Government and private sector agencies all cooperating to RESCUE people in need. No profit agendas by the private sector, no power and control agendas by the Government.
Ir will take a long while to complete the rescue and that time should not be a consideration. But the MOMENT the rescue is complete, we should all take note that the prior 50 years of international support for the people of this country has PROVEN to be a total waste of lives, time, and money! The people have not realized ANY benefit. We now have 50 year old Haitians and younger with no clue how to fend for and improve themselves.

Now that internationally, we have all conspired to ruin a nation and its people, WHAT DO WE DO? More of the same? Probably! We are doing it daily to our own people.

Dan,

It would be great if what you said would happen but you know as well as I that it isn't going to happen. We will be in the same position as they are now in another year or so of the Great Ones power grabbing greed. We won't have the ability or freedom to help anyone else.

I have noticed that whenever there are riots and looting it is always men who are doing it!

Pat,

That always seems to be the case but I believe I recall seeing some women in the looting in L.A. and another place or two. Maybe it is because women don't have equal rights in all countries or are just waiting for the men to bring the stuff to them.

More about how difficult it is to get supplies into where they are needed the worst.
