    Haiti: Humanitarian Aid to Repay an Odious Debt?

    Haiti: Humanitarian Aid to Repay an Odious Debt?

    There is a great risk that one of the largest relief operations in history will be similar in nature to the tsunami relief efforts in 2004, unless a radically different approach to a reconstruction model is adopted. Haiti was partially destroyed by an earthquake measuring 7 on the Richter scale. We have all shed tears and the media, as they bombard us with apocalyptic images, report on financial pledges generous States have made. We know that Haiti needs to be rebuilt, this country hard-hit by poverty and “its curseâ€

    You got that right. We are always the bad guy and always at fault for everything. And they always want "aid" from us and it is never enough. They take the aid and then spit in our face. They succeeded in overthrowing the government but still the country is a mud hole. And it is all the fault of "whitie."

    When prisoners from Europe were exiled to what now is Australia....those prisoners succeeded in making a decent country of the place. And it was just dirt when they were sent there.

    Same thing with the American pioneer. The country was basically just dirt and they made a decent country. It was not easy, but they did it. And they had to fight off the English first....but they did it.

    So why is it that countries like Haiti and others like it have not done this? So what if they were slaves, that was then and this is now. There is no excuse for them to be in the shape they are in. But oh....its not their fault...its whitie's fault.

    They talk about how corrupt the USA is, while their countries are one hundred times more corrupt. Oh but wait....it is whitie's fault they are corrupt...lol.
