One can only hope that the internatinal community continues to supprt the people in Haiti. Then, one can only hope that they will have leadership that supports the people of Haiti.

The numbers of those affected far exceed that of 9-11; however, there was no warning and no means whereby to overcome this force of Mother Nature. Haiti will learn from this tragic event despite the helplessness they encounter at the moment. Just the tragedy of 9-11, many wondered why, how, and what will we do now? Nevertheless, with time, the citizens of this unique island will inspire to live another day. This inspiration will blossom through the assistance of worldly aide. Just as you mentioned, a multitude of efforts wage in on this central point in the region. Often times people will comment on how there is always good that comes from something bad. For the citizens of Haiti this may be a difficult analogy yet to comprehend. For those who remain (and were) affected by 9-11, they know in their hearts the true hurt these poor people face. Furthermore, it is these people who realize how time helps with such pain and loss. Although the Haitians may not be able to see what good comes from this event, the survivors of 9-11 know that times like this unite people of common experience. Times like this form a bond that only those touched by this unexplained event will forevermore leave a scar impaling their minds like a splinter, demonstrating the pain and experience to those who survived. May the efforts of the United States and other countries enable these people to once again live in common harmony and without fear in the foreground of their present thoughts.
