And if the Haitians are being turned away by their own neighbors, why is it EXPECTED that the US will rush in and save them?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')hey followed news accounts of the devastation in Haiti, horrified. And then they gave to a country that only a few had ever visited, and many knew little about. From $5 sent via cellphone text messages to $1 million from the founder of a Boston construction company, money and other assistance from the region poured in yesterday.

Idiots every one of them throwing money down a rat role when there are needy right here in America.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]Haiti needs a Marshall Plan to recover from earthquake

Visits to Haiti by American television cameras and images of suffering — juxtaposed with dramatic music and fancy logos or sad looks on the faces of U.S. politicians as they extend condolences — are not enough.
Sympathy is not enough.

Response to the earthquake in Haiti must be at a level the world has not seen. It is not clear that the message is getting through. Nor is it clear that Haiti will get what it deserves and needs: a new start and the equivalent of a Marshall Plan, war reparations that create a new reality in Haiti.

All 4,500 prisoners in Haiti's main prison escape. All are on the loose.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Sixstrings', 't')he Haitian ambassador to the US said on TV that the US needs to launch a Marshall Plan to rebuild Haiti. And tonight on MSNBC, congresswoman repeated this line, that we need a post-WWII style Marshall Plan for Haiti. She also said that any Haitians who reach our shores should be given residency.

Also, Obama has ordered that all Haitian illegal immigrants, who were due for deportation, be granted 18 months residency and allowed to work.

[hope_full]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'P')S I was told there is a video of Haitians standing on top of the ruins , with still alive people inside and singing, while foreigners are trying to clean up the rubble. Is that their idea of participation?

[Ainan]

The average IQ in Haiti is 72. That's borderline retarded. There's no hope for Haiti, any money spent will be money down the drain.

Not just Haiti, it seems to be a lot of tectonic movement around lately.
http://www.thehorizonproject.com/earthquakes.cfm
Recently it was an earthquake of magnitude 5.7 in Sucre, Venezuela and a magnitude 4.0 in Oklahoma.
Now, look at this map

Not only there´s more activity than usual, but a lot of it seems to be around the pacific plate , maybe someone that knows can comment on it?

Explaining why other people are worthless seems to come easy to both Rush and Pat
and often God is alleged to gift them with the ability to do a binary sort of humanity.
Somehow, they are never wrong or worthless or hurting, but know who should be.
The microphones they let you see are fakes, the real ones are under their chairs
because they talk out of their ass while they move their lips in sync.

[hardtootell-2]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Sixstrings', 'W')as watching CNN..
A food aid truck made it out to the city. So they're passing out these high-energy survival biscuits. Some people in the crowd notice the date (2008) and assume that's the expiration date (it's the package date). So anyway, one guy starts yelling that the biscuits are bad and not to eat them, and then everyone starts throwing the biscuits on the ground and stomping them.

The aid workers get overwhelmed by the crowd and decide to speed off, while hungry kids chase the truck and grab onto it. Bizarre.. if you were hungry, would you worry about an expiration date?

[eastbay]

Everything you see in Haiti was given to Haitians in the form of a handout. All the food, concrete, communication lines, medicine, all of it.
The roads, the airport even the now ruined presidential palace and every item in every store. Even the money to buy the illegal drugs.

So yes, what The West has done by offering such handouts is destroy the nation. What the USA and other nations is doing by importing Haitians
is to encourage more population growth. Outside of medicine and rescue help, offering goods and money is the very worst thing that can be done
in a time like this. Sounds harsh to some, but in the long term.... and that's what's most important.... such aid only causes hardship and more suffering.

That JFK followed the Bay of Pigs with Marines

Cuba would look just like Haiti today. Instead of being
refused by bush43 when it offered to send doctors to Katrina/
NOGC.

No shackles were ever overthrown by Haitians. It was a killing spree. They went from working for the French
to relying on handouts from the world. And the result of it all is they're now a crystal pure
welfare nation. They're only export is humans remittances from whom Haiti gains 20% of their GDP. The other
80% (or nearly all of it) is direct payments from other nations.
