Food handout turns chaotic in Haitian capital

Damn straight. We suck at saving people and while there are many conclusions being drawn without much evidence, the fact that we suck at saving people has been proven, as far as I'm concerned anyway.

I want one of those shotguns. They're just sexy.

Not a good thing but I have to wonder how many aid efforts were not chaotic on the same day. Our efforts in New Orleans were and still are pitiful, as are the world's efforts to end violence in Darfur, the Congo, Honduras, Mexico, Afghanistan, Iraq, Burma, Yemen, Sri Lanka, the Arizona border with Mexico,

If, however, we did not have thousands and thousands of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan - our reactions to all these things could be better and we would take away one of the terrorist's best recruiting promo - US invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Who was personally attacked? And you bet I will criticize all I want. And I AM doing something about it. YOU? Talk about suppositions.There's always one in every thread.

I don't know about anyone else, but...If most food, clean water, government rule, schools...you get the picture, was taken from our country for a couple hundred years, then things got worse....drastically worse, and I saw food and water and clothing that I had never seen before in my life...I had children...family...I would most likely riot, loot, and any other thing I could do to ensure my family got the most of this "stuff" that I could too.

criticize all you want, but your personal attacks and arguments (more like suppositions!) against the ongoing crises in haiti does nothing to help anyone out. do you think you guys are some kind of watchdog group? get off your ass and do something about it if you're that adamant on criticizing the aid that all of us are paying for. think you can coordinate the thousands of volunteers from across the world better? then do it. think you can help organize the hundreds of thousands in haiti in a better manner? then do it.

it's been two weeks. it takes longer than that to calm a shit storm and restore order to the chaos. it takes longer than that to ensure the livelihoods of the hundreds of thousands without homes and jobs but still with families to feed.

stop complaining and do something. no one takes your criticisms seriously. if you think you're so much better than those individuals helping out right now, then prove it.

if you truly believe that you value the lives of the haitians much more than those in charge, then volunteer and prove it.

This entire aid effort should be an embarrassment to the world community. And Hillary Clinton dared to say she "resented" criticism of our president or country regarding it? Well, excuse me Miss Monsanto. We can see with our own eyes, and we remember New Orleans. Demilitarize this aid effort and worry more about keeping people alive than how much money you can make off of taking everything else from them.

the World's ideology is so fucked up, they should have had an abundance of food by now

Yes, and supposedly with the rains coming in April and May, if people are still living in tents there will be disease and much more to deal with. And two weeks after the initial quake and they still don't have a coordinated effort to get aid to these people?

This numbers are missing the big one. 2 million homeless, according to Amy Goodman. why is that number not reported anywhere else?

They have no trouble spending millions on guns and ammo to "control" people. But not a cent for the people's needs so they have a place to freaking live!

So, just how temporary will these temporary tent cities be? And I am sorry, but I don't believe countries will be putting billions into rebuilding the capital to not get anything out of it. It is always the people who suffer in circumstances like this. I wonder how long it will take for Haiti to drop out of the consciousness of the world? That will be the time when this situation will have to be watched closely.
