      Incredible omission in this discussion! While many good things were said, especially by Robert Maguire, I did not hear any analysis of the role of the U.S. Government, before, during, or after the quake. But the U.S. Government has been the major player in Haiti for almost 200 years. Since the quake it has militarized its rescue efforts, controlled the flow of traffic at the airport, and concentrated on security of property rather than rescue and aid of victims, especially among the poor. Unless the U.S. Government changes its tune, Haiti will revert to being a source of cheap labor and not much else. Haiti's poverty is no accident. For those who benefit from Haiti's poverty, the earthquake is a godsend.

      @REMant: Were we watching the same show? I didn't hear anyone say "do away with factory work", but a balancing alternative to rural-urban migration would be nice. If you're up-to-date with the history of economic development in 19th century Europe then any mass migration of Haitians towards the US should have your full support. @Charlizecourriers: I appreciate your points. Earthquakes don't discriminate. People and policies do.

      What have we here? Five unaccompanied adults, each having no military experience, and all cowboy heroes, who just can't figure it out. Haiti is the oldest failed black republic in the world. And it is going to stay that way until American liberals admit it. Earthquakes don't discriminate.

      I'd be very surprised to see Haiti decentralized and reorganized in some ideal way. The French have been trying to do that for years, and haven't succeeded. Most "cosmopolitans" don't even like it. Every country's economic development I can think of, except perhaps the German, has shown mass migrations from the countryside to a few urban areas, usually ports, such as London, or on trade routes. I also think doing away with subsistence-wage factory labor is wishful thinking. They'll be lucky if they can keep those jobs. This is not to say I don't appreciate the sentiment, just that I think it is unrealistic.
