Haiti is a disaster that happen in 1791 and has gone down hill ever since.

Nothing in the country worked before the earthquake. Nothing will work in the future. The country is a failed experiment in government by a culture that is unmanageable.

If Harvard wanted a model for study about a failed state, Haiti would be the mother of all failure. If one looks at any category to define the situation in Haiti - vital statistics - national economy - foreign trade - transportation - communications - education - health - environment - in every instance there is no place in the world any worse.

President Obama is making a colossal mistake by saying that the United States will take responsibility to correct the situation in Haiti. Throwing money at this catastrophe is a fool’s errand.

This is not the first disaster to inflict this country and will not be the last.

It appears to me that the only solution for this debacle is to depopulate the country and give the land a thousand years to recover.

Is it acceptable to accept custom without reasoning?
