It may be satisfying to say "throw the bums out" but good leadership alone will not solve Haiti's problems. I wish I had answers, but there is no magic wand. Solving these problems will take decades. In the meantime, people are suffering and donations to worthy NGO's will help alleviate misery.

Just looking at the news footage, it almost seems impossible knowing where to start to aleviate the situation. Not onlu the United States, but other countries in the Americas will have to play a role in forming a new society.
Most Haitians I've run into here are some of the hardest working people you'll ever meet. The system of a tiny elite ruling class while the masses live in severe poverty has to change. Yet the hard part if figuring out how the people can change this system..
