For obvious reasons Haiti is a lost cause, but America will pick up the pieces (nobody else will), and be blamed soundly.
Haiti is a lost cause. You are definitely right about that. When I first heard about the earthquake there, I thought “My god, of all the countries that this could happen to, Haiti has got to be the worst.”
I’m not convinced that there is enough money in the world to properly rebuild Haiti.
I’m not convinced that there is enough money in the world to properly re-orient Haiti’s social disfunctionality.
I’m not convinced tha there’s enough money in the world to install a national or local govt that respects the rule of law.
And yes, the US will get the blame for anything and everything that goes wrong there.
