Reid and the Dems seem to have "all" the answers about training police, including security forces, and how long it takes to do that. (See their comments about Iraq)... Let them figure out how to train cops for Haiti.

trouble is we are allowing these type gangs to take over in states. Unless some serious action is taken the gangs will get bigger and bigger and people will continue to live in fear. It seems our politics and national media do not give this enough attention or money. last week we had a ten year old take a shot gun to a kid in a play ground and blow him away as he swept up the grounds. every day now little children in the streets of philly are getting shot or killed. age four, eight , ten, broad day light. We have at least four or five shootings now in broad daylight no longer just in night time. last week there were two car attempts, a couple of robberies within 90 minutes. oh, and in n.j. a 711 store three guys came into store hooded on heavily travelled rte 130 in n.j. around 11am. shot up the place and sent a few to the hospital. our priorities are really screwed up , look in our own back yard before we worry about haiti, our backyards are becoming the haiti.

A plumber friend of mine went to Haiti with a church group to do repairs on a hospital. Haiti is so short on paper and plants that when the people relieve themselves they use pebbles instead of paper or leaves to wipe themselves. When they go to the hospital they take pebbles with them and they get flushed down the commode. Over time the pebbles have clogged the sewer which caused a break in the line so the waste from the sick people flows untreated into the city water reservoir. Money wasn't his problem, the church provided a fund for equipment rental, there wasn't a track or back hoe in the whole country he could rent. Can't hand dig out and replace a 36" main by hand.
