I predict that the US will express concern but do nothing, about the recent quake.

Because of government corruption there, it will be ineffective to offer aid to the government. But as in Myanmar, the government will probably refuse to allow the US to deliver aid directly.

I'd suggest using helicopters and dropping twenty dollar bills in the most devestated areas. This will enable residents to buy needed supplies. There is no lack of resources in Haiti; the problem is distribution. --Ed Poor Talk 10:21, 13 January 2010 (EST)

I have read that the war Haiti fought with France to become independent in the first place was the start of the trouble. It wrecked a lot of the country's infrastructure, and the peace settlement required Haiti to pay large reparations that crippled its economy. So the fledgling nation never really had a fair chance.--CPalmer 12:02, 18 January 2010 (EST)
