It's Tea Time

No, seriously.

Amid the mounting frustration, UN chief Ban Ki-moon asked former US president Bill Clinton to "assume a leadership role" in coordinating the international aid, UN spokesman Martin Nesirky told a press briefing.

"The aim... is to provide strategic guidance to the United Nations involvement at an international level," Nesirky said.
Clinton added: "The trick is to get the Haitian people back where they can stop living from day-to-day and start living from week-to-week or month-to-month and then start the long-term efforts.

"They, the leaders there, want to build a functioning, modern state for the first time, and I will do what I can to faithfully represent and work with all the agencies of the UN and help them get it done," he added.

Really Bill, is that the "trick"? Brilliant, glad you're on top of things.

Long story short: Haiti is screwed. The people who are acting like they care are only doing this for their ego and any political gain that might come from being involved. I am willing to bet that ten years from now, Haiti will still be an absolutely hellish place to live.

Why wouldn't it be. How many times do you think something to the effect of Clinton's comments have been uttered? Great, Haiti wants to build a "functioning, modern state". What did they want before, an ass backwards broken state? If so, well done on that front.

What a horrible state of being for the Haitian people, and with nothing but talk from bureaucrats to sustain them. Too bad they can't eat speeches, they'd be in good shape.
