I don't know how true this is but it is an interesting read....

To All,

I just returned from Haiti with Hebler. We flew in at 3 AM Sunday to the

scene of such incredible destruction on one side, and enormous

ineptitude and criminal neglect on the other.

Port o Prince is in ruins. The rest of the country is fairly intact. Our

team was a rescue team and we carried special equipment that locates

people buried under the rubble. There are easily 200,000 dead, the city

smells like a charnal house. The bloody UN was there for 5 years doing

apparently nothing but .................................

The rest of the story.......

Interesting.

There's a 'Salvation Army' ad running on the radio at present in which they claim to have been in Haiti for the past 60 years doing their thing. Of course, they seek your money?

So what has the past 60 years of Salvation Army help really done for the people of Haiti? It seems to me, the best claim that can be made in support of the entire 'we're here to help crowd' is that feeding / vacination programs can effectively produce a gigantic increase in the number of a given population.
