Re: Major Earthquake in Haiti
I feel for the common folk there. However, Haiti has been a money pit for decades. They have already asked the USA for money - we've spent billions there over the years, but the place is a festering sore in the region. No progress has been made in the past 100 years. I don't see what good sending money will do - their crooked politicians will enrich themselves and the common folk will continue to do without.

I do agree that is not going to be easy putting things back together again after a quake like this, Alaska under went one much like this back in 1964. This one was so out of the blue, from the maps there is little to no quakes in this area, so for one this big to hit... I do wounder where the Aid is going to land, where the airports or ports closed because of damage?

Re: Major Earthquake in Haiti
The latest update says that most of the capital city is destroyed. My heart goes out to them. Those of us who live in earthquake country know what it is to be cut off and not know anything and how hard that hits. Thousands are already lost over there. I hope that we can all get in and help and those people. This is terrible.

Re: Major Earthquake in Haiti
So we will borrow money from china to give it to Haiti, not a good idea.
Why not ask for donations from private americans. We will give, but lets not go further into debt to do it. I just cnat wrap my head around spending taxpayer money rebuilding a country that for the last 100 years has proven it cant stand on its own. If they want the US to rebuild, and support them then become the 51st state and contribute to the pie.
