“Besides, if America cannot save Detriot or New Orleans from self inflicted social collapse in a deep recession, how can we save Haiti?”

That may be a true statement…as far as it goes, and what it entails.

But consider this. The inhabitants of new Orleans and Detroit not only depend on welfare but want nothing other. The inhabitants of Haiti, have never received any help to speak of, the money given to their domicile has been siphoned off and stolen by others.

Maybe, just maybe if they were not only given the fish but taught to fish they might be able to care for themselves and thier children.

If we don’t really try and correct the many mistakes and find a way, can we live with ourselves. We tried to help those in New Orleans and they threw it back in our faces, saying it was not enough.

I don’t think the Haitians will do or say the same. I may be wrong, but I would like the chance to be so.
