Haiti

(Image from The Seattle Times)

The devastation in Haiti is very upsetting. A nation so poor they don't have the machinery to dig up dead bodies from the rubble. No food or clean water for days because the help cannot arrive? It s shameful that such a poor nation exists on the doorstep of the most powerful, rich nation. Perhaps Obama will do the right thing and help change US policies toward Haiti? Policies that will support self-reliance, not dependence?

Carl Lindskoog's article explains, at least partially, why the country is so vulnerable.
