Why is it taking so LONG for help to get to Haiti? Blah blah blah from the leaders of the various world powers, while people DIE under rubble when they could have been saved. Just another Katrina. My theory is that the rich countries actually WANT these poor people to die--especially in a country like Haiti, with a rich history of revolution against horrible dictators.
Believe me, if this earthquake had happened in the Hamptons, or Malibu, or some wealthy enclave such as Monaco, search teams, giant medical ships, bullldozers and all necessary equipment and personnel would be in the area and on the ground within half a day.
OR, if this was a country the US wanted to invade, exactly how long do you think THAT would take?
And then, of course, there is the whole issue of class. The wealthy nations, and wealthy leaders NEED worker-bees, people in desperate situations, ready to be exploited for sweatshops. And if they have no use, even for the worst possible employment, then they don't really need to BE at ALL, do they? Time for change, time for a massive, overnight sudden change of consciousness. NOW.
