Yer problem, Dave, is that you're one of those "can do" people.
Whereas too much of this is being done/administered/run by "can't do" people.
Add in the stupid "we gotta save 'our' people first" stuff and the moronic politicians looking for photo ops showing their "compassion," and you get the usual clusterfuck.
And of course these being people who average something like $5 USA income per year, no way is any political "humanitarian" action going to be sustained anything like the time it has to be. (And this isn't bashing the Obamoids -- the number of politicos who are going to care about this country for more than a month or so, of either party, is going to number in the teens.
In another era where such wouldn't be attacked as "postcolonial adventurism" or similar nonsense, I'd just send in the Marines/Army/Navy types to set up logistics and stop looting/etc., and then get out of the way for the churches, Doctors w/o Borders, WalMart, etc. to come in and do their thing.
(And if I were the Haitian president, I'd tell all the politicians they have no entrance visa for at least six months after the disaster.)
Instead, we'll dick around and pontificate about our compassion, and eventually start blaming Obama or Bush or (whichever moron we call "them")....and Haiti will see the USA government as an untrustworthy piece of shit.
Me, I'd put my hopes for Haiti on the private charities, the Doctors without Borders, the Samaritan's Purse, those sorts.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:2 (NKJV)
