Chaos In Haiti!

From the NYT:

The United Nations said it had fed 8,000 people, while two million to three million people remained in dire need.

Today (Saturday 16, 2010) Bob Herbert writes:

"“The world is coming to an end,” cried a woman in the midst of the carnage."

"They rose up against the French and defeated the forces of Napoleon to become the only nation to grow out of a slave revolt. They rose up against the despotic Jean-Claude (Baby Doc) Duvalier and sent him packing. Despite ruthless exploitation by more powerful nations, including the United States, and many long years of crippling civil strife, corruption, terror and chronic poverty, the Haitian people have endured."
