This would be an idiots speech if she did not know the facts. The fact that she does know the facts just makes her a liar.

Acording to this idiot Haiti was a great place to live before the quake and now its going to go bad because of liberalism. How dishonest can you get?

[GodGunsAndGlory]

Period of Stability? Haiti was very stable before the earthquake, please does anyone actually fucking believe that?

Its the most corrupt country out there and the politicians are bunch of drug dealers.

Anyways the earthquake was on January 12th and no one was "profiting," and if there was someone profiting, the leftists would be all happy about it because they are dumb fucks who believe in the broken window fallacy.

Greedy Capitalist are worse than vultures. Vultures wait for dinner to be completely dead, the other don't even bother.

1% of help to the people of Haiti and the rest to power. Business as usual! Profit over people prevails! Nil sub sole novum.

This is just one political (for Profit) group bad mouthing another politcal (for profit) group.  She is pushing her book and saying we should Give not Loan.. I think it's good for the American people to give, but NOT the Gov, the Government is not a charity it should not decide no matter how bad the disaster that it can take the people's money from they by force (try not paying your taxes) and give it to anyone. I give to charity more than most. My choice, not the gov.

I agree with you. Capitalism, well what it was originally meant for, is not bad at all. But I think we are in times where capitalism has advanced, if you'd like to call it that, to a point where it is synonymous with corporatism. It's a neoliberal world these days. And I wouldn't think it naive to suggest that American incentive in Haiti is not purely a government backed policy; in other words, there's always someone behind the bureaucratic curtains and it usually isn't your elected official.

....naomi is super to pinpoint problems....but haiti decided long time ago(200 years) to expel/kill the the franch....and haiti has been a disaster zone for 200 years now....and no matter how much money are spent on haiti....haiti will be a disaster zone for the next 200 years...the real problem is to help the rest of hispaniola not becoming a permanent disaster zone.....

I'm starting to hear that Haiti might have a substantial amount of hydrocarbon energy. This might explain why there are so many US soldiers on the ground.
