I wonder if it is truly possible to save these people.
Not only do they have African roots but French roots as well..
They may be not only politically suicidal but politically cannibalistic as well..
If you are still wondering, you are more optimistic than I am.
The people can be saved.
In Miami, the Christian Haitians some are the most hard working, friendly and moral people one can meet. They put many other Caribbean people to shame.
Their country is a completely different story.
Years: err, make that centuries of government corruption, mind boggling ineptness, voodoo, greed, slavery and stupidity have made the land to have collapsing or nonexistent infrastructure and basic fundamental aspects of a functioning civilization have broken beyond repair. That was before the earthquake.
Haiti is basically a dead country.
Export all the Haitians to other countries and level the island clean and start again
I'm serious. It's that bad. 90 % of the Island farmland is not ariable anymore.
