One of the newly-elected local mayors is Haitian. Her husband was in Haiti at the time of the earthquake and is still missing.
I saw her on the news last night.
I can't even IMAGINE what these people are going through ~ not even knowing if your loved ones are dead or alive.
I want to see our government respond quickly and efficiently and in force NOW. I don't wanna see just one aircraft carrier and a few minor ships be dispatched. Send a fleet! Send the SeaBees. Send a few hundred bulldozers and doctors and MASH units.
More importantly, send them NOW!! Every hour they delay people are dying. They need to dig out the bodies NOW.
The richest, most powerful country in the world can't do this for a poor country only a few hundred miles from its shores??
