Bring in Rudy Giuliani as a consultant -- If he could clean up NYC in a short number of years, imagine what he could do for Haiti! Get the US troops out of Iraq (where we have no buisness being anyway and clearly they do not want our help -- I lived there -- they resent Americans more each day) and bring those troops and that cash to Haiti where they DO want our help.
The land is no good for farming any longer. There needs to be a clear plan to clean up the garbage from the streets, get clean water flowing, provide electricity, and of course, education for ALL children -- without it costing an arm and a leg. If the streets are safe, US companies that are sending factories/resources to China, India, etc., could send a few to Haiti instead.
I was recently in Haiti and I marveled at the kindness of the people and the beauty of the land. This is NOT a lost cause, but because it is an island it is being ignored. The people of Haiti cannot protect themselves any longer, they need our help. Not just our money, but our guidance. I, for one, will be there to help. After our visit to Haiti, my husband and I have become involved with ATPIN -- Aid to the People in Need.
Hopefully, if things look up, people will value their lives more and protect themselves during sex. AIDS is a major problem in the country also. But, with a land full of beautiful people, beautiful land and warm, gorgeous water, it is by no means a lost cause.
Haiti is worth saving
