The US Does Not Beat About the Bush
Army, marine and government cabinets have all been requisitioned to ensure a quick response. ++ After the mismanagement of Katrina and a foreseeable mass movement of Haitian boats towards Florida, the US is pushing its “moral impetus,” paving the way for crisis management in Haiti and overshadowing their European and Brazilian partners. ++ After Wilson and Clinton, will the renewed promise of long-term American support to Haiti be effective? ++ And yet again, the United Nations is nowhere to be seen.

Why are we even helping Haiti?
They have made it quite clear they hate the USA. Starting back in the 1980’s secret special operations missions from the Navy, Marines and Army were deployed to rescue American diplomats taken hostage in Haiti. Haiti became the highest risk security work for veteran special ops types (all others need not apply for the job). To put it in terms you can understand, warning shots in the air did nothing to stop attackers. At a time (2010) when we need to help our own, we are forced to help people who hate us and have hated us Long Term.
Philippine Friends a Better Choice
Now if we want to help some great people, how about the Philippines? They learn quickly, they work hard, they are very intelligent, and they like the USA. When we treat the Philippine people kindly they return that kindness. This is a mutually beneficial relationship worth promoting.
End of Super Power Countries
Despite all the hype economically the USA is not a super power anymore. We cannot afford to help our enemies get stronger so they can attack us. We must focus on helping friends in hopes of having strong friends to one day help us in return.
