Haiti Help

14 years ago
For those of you that have posted numerous times that the US is the cause of most of the world’s problems and take advantage of others I submit you read who is taking the big burden in helping Haiti.

The US has sent over 12,000 troops to that country and has re-establish order and safety since the country’s police force and army are totally disbanded and the government palace destroyed. They have also taken control of the airport and made possible the over 100 planes that land there daily with help supplies.

Now comes Mr Chavez and states the US has sent troops to invade the country. Can you think of a more mean and inhuman statement? I have not seen any help from Venezuela or EC for that matter. Of course Chavez has close relations with Correa so who knows what goes on. Mexico, Chile, Argentina etc have sent personnel. By the way France also made a negative statement. I can understand Chavez who is a maniac but not France.

The US has donated more than 114 Millions and the next country is England with 30 Millions and then France with 16M. Its interesting to note that Iran which has been doing business with EC ( and loaned them money) and Venezuela provided Zero $ same as the oil rich nation of Saudi Arabia.

The US has also sent many doctors and innumerable number of people that have volunteered including many fire departments and construction workers. Not to mention the many contributions from people like Bill gates and movie actors which have contributed a large amount of money. Also the American red cross has also contributed with dollars and personnel.

The US has also parked navy ships with helicopters to help distribute the food inside of the country as well as a hospital ship to take care of the wounded.

And to top it all off this wicked nation called the USA of AMERICA has opened its arms to the Haitians people and welcomed them into the country with an emergency visa so they could leave that horrible disaster area and start a new life in the US and to also get medical attention in the specialized hospitals in Florida where they are treating babies found aliv,e even today! Thanks for this wicked USA!

For those that blame all in the US please follow this topic and see how much help others are giving considering their size and wealth. I know the US is not perfect but when a catastrophe strikes I would count more on the great heart of the American people and our great nation than I would any other. Where are all those big mouth countries that are always accusing us? Why don’t they say present at a time like this?
