- Well they are get lots of support from the other country. The American Red Cross is one of the organization which provide continual help to victims of this earthquake. They expect to give quick needs for food, water, medical support etc.

- Conditions in Haiti were just as bad, if not worse, before the earthquake. So now the US is responsible for their plight? People need to stay in their home country, fight for it, and make it what they want it to be.

- It is sad to hear what the Haiti people have to go through. It is time for us to love and elevate each others when come to disasters. I'm from a not so wealthy developing country and I donated my savings to the UNICEF fund for Haiti. It is sad to know only that much I could do. I plan to donate again when I could. I hope others will also help as much as they can if conditions allowed.

- Also, I don't APPRECIATE the proselytizing that our help sent there already is NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
The unmitigated ARROGANCE of you liberal do-gooders is beyond the pale.
This is not a POLICE STATE, and I don't own any NON AMERICAN CITIZENS anything.
When you come for me, bring your grit teeth, you SOCIALISTS. - Reply to this comment

- I said at the beginning that it is going to take a long sustained effort to make things livable, which to me includes sanitation to prevent disease. I was in a very minor disaster situation compared to this and it took over a year to just get SOMEWHAT back to normal. It's hard to picture what it's like when most everything that was above ground is now ON the ground. Sometimes the people that need aid are also the victims of a rotten government, which doesn't help, but we've seen this before.

- Take a step back and look at this picture. Ask yourself why the Haitian government has not prepared for something like this. Before the earthquake the Haitian government never would raise a finger to help any other country because of their corruption. Now they are pointing fingers at Uncle Sam because we are not sending money. I bet $1 out of $100 goes to the people and the government gets the rest.

- The history of disaster relief efforts continues to repeat itself. Once the disaster occurs, in its immediate aftermath arrive the politicians and the news crews. Politicians offer to help start getting their photos in the press and on TV. In the aftermath of the initial burst of activity, the press moves on to other stories and the politicians depart. The homelessness, disease brought on by the disaster combined with the absence of sanitation enhances starvation and hopelessness to remain constant. Desperation sets in and soon the public demands more attention from its government who cannot deliver the badly needed help. Then some opportunist and his group will commence a revolution. This deja-vu scenario is to be expected. There is never enough help or helpers, especially in countries classified as the poorest on Earth--like Haiti.
