I wouldn't be too worry about the Haitian gov taking advantage of the situation. As others have stated this catastrophe has hit from the very top down. Just make sure you do your research and not give $ do shady orgs. Another thing that I wanted to mention is the DR has an immensely vested interest for Haiti to overcome this for the better as you may know Haitian have brought the same issues as what the Mexican illegal immigrants here represents. The DR fears that an exodus of Haitian will leave Haiti to the DR adding to the already tense relationship between the two countries.

do I like wall st bailouts? no. do I like the make work stimulus projects that don't address our long term needs? no. we just piss money away. what undue focus, it was a specific point that seems to have bothered some people...someone could simply have pointed out that they didn't think it was happening. I have no agenda to pedal, I'm not a politician, just a frustrated american. that's the problem, if you have an opinion on something, all of a sudden someone wants to make you a caricature or a stereotypical partisan. it's wrong on both sides. only now did I find we spent $700 million on aid and these people still had no food, yet there's no money to build a roosevelt blvd or second ave subway in America. in 2007? they made $30 million available to improve intercity rail. it would have been nice if someone had provided recomendations on where to donate.
