So maybe that means we don't have enough Military down there with ...gasp....guns to protect the people from the other people...right? Today is the end of the 4th day. What good does it do to get some supplies down there if there is no way to get them to the people who need them....??? ESPECIALLY water.

During Katrina, the Feds had the supplies and troops etc at the border of LA in two days, but the Gov didn't and wouldn't sign the paper that said the Feds had the right to come into the state for another 24 hours. And humans, being humans, still need time to get the items in, get the machinery in, and sort what goes where and to whom...The media blasted the President during Katrina, but somehow, I haven't seen that this time.

People are dying every minute that help can't get to them. Sad isn't just the word. After the BILLIONS and BILLIONS we've given to Haiti over the decades, the least one would expect would be a decent port, and some sort of infrastructure that would be prepared for emergencies.
