The meandering path conversations can take on this site is quite refreshing isn't it? I enjoy that Doc is ever willing to throw a third world contrast into the face of entitled American belly aching. It can be stunning just how uninformed some are as to life outside of America's borders.
Here's a quick look at aid given to Haiti

Haiti is one of those places so fundamentally broken that there is no way for the money given to be put to use. In my personal opinion the best way to literally save untold thousands, if not millions, of lives there would be for an external force to establish a form of colonial government. However that is the one thing that is impossible in today's political climate.
