What more can I say? It saddened me when seeing corpses lying everywhere left to rot. Everybody is on its own seeking for their own survival resulting from the earthquake. Food, water and shelter, the basic need to live had gone down with the disaster and everybody seeking for it.
Aid from all over the world came pouring in but the damage to the infrastructures dampens the effort for the people to receive the aid on hand. The airport, the port and land transportation are unable to cope. Helicopters had to be call in and US army had to be mobilize to control the crowd for systematic distribution. There are 4,000 criminals comingling among the crowd the escapee from the destroyed Prison. The injured had to be attended to but the medicines and the medical instruments are within reach but not at the Hospital yet. About 150,000 are already dead, few hundred thousand on the injured list and 300,000 misplaced. 80% of the building at Porte-au-Prince destroyed. The corpses were just dumped into a big hole or just left at the dumping ground. There is no time and facilities for religious rites.
I agree to a suggestion by the Katrina General. Drop the aid quickly, take in the injured and fly off to the nearest Hospital in USA. Ensure that the plane has enough fuel for the return flight as Port-au Prince Airport had already run short of aviation fuel. On doing so, more planes can land within shorter period. On this aspect more aid can be delivered and more injured can be airlifted. A floating Hospital is on the way from Baltimore Maryland. Diplomatic and political protocol should be waived during this time of catastrophe. This is a question of life and death.
CNN, BBC and Aljazeera give me the first hand visuals and as human beings my heart breaks when seeing how cheap a human body can be. There is no more honor to a human body that GOD created.
Haiti…….I am really sorry for you.

World Peace???
Aren’t humans amazing? They kill wildlife - birds, deer, all kinds of cats, coyotes, beavers, groundhogs, mice and foxes by the million in order to protect their domestic animals and their feed.
Then they kill domestic animals by the billion and eat them. This in turn kills people by the million, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative - and fatal - - health conditions like heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and cancer.
So then humans spend billions of dollars torturing and killing millions of more animals to look for cures for these diseases.
Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals.
Meanwhile, few people recognize the absurdity of humans, who kill so easily and violently, and then call for "Peace on Earth."
