Ruben, my closest friend ... informs me that the Dominican side of the island is gravely concerned because of the frequent small plane flights and drops into Haiti.
Haiti may be good for traffikkers as a stop in the way to richer countries, if they can find the way to reach them. If a traffikker can sell cocaine at $ 10.000 in USA or $. 5.000 in Mexico, why sell it for $ 1.000 in Haiti..?.
I don't think that evrything USA does carry dark evil intentions. There are good people evrywhere, you know. Even in the USA.
Lets pray for Haiti and his people, and hope they can have all the help they need and more.
My understanding is that Haiti is used as a transit point, not an end-market, and the fears are that some 'product' will end up coming across the border into the Dominican socio-political environment.
Yes, there are many good people in the U.S., even within governmental circles and agencies. Currently they are being silent when they should be outraged (not about the Haiti issue); as for the government, I've read the plans (which are largely transparent) and I'm familiar with its track record. Forgive me my imperfectly targeted/harnessed/focused frustrations. I agree that prayer (and action) are warranted. In this case, as in every disaster, it is important not to add to what is known as dysfunctional mass convergence and so to pause to be sure -- if I may use a German tactical term -- where the proper "schwerpunkt" of response ought to be focused.
