I don't think Haitian children affected by the quake are in anyway responsible for the actions of their government or history that goes back as many has 8 to 24 generations ago.

That's like saying if Philadelphia were half-way destroyed by a flood, nobody from the South should feel obligated to do anything to help us because of what Yankees did to their ancestors they only have a tin-type photograph of, during the Civil War.



Politics should not get in the way of helping the most destitute over something like this, even if they do choose to elect a-ssholes to govern themselves.
Excellent post.
