It's horrible, that triumverate that ruined contemporary Haiti, standing there and advising us to donate on their behalf. It all makes me sick. Those UN peacekeepers weren't there to help develop Haiti, but to keep Aristide's power base in line. Much of that power base is now destroyed. Looks so much like how the rethugneocons 'managed' the catastrophe of the failure of the levees.
My prayers are with your family in Port-au-Prince.
The most reliable reportage all along, from the very first minutes, as far as we can tell, has come to us from Richard Morse's twitter feed (Hotel Olaffson; Ram).
Thank you for this. I hope your family is doing okay. Here via, oh my, an endless series of links that started with my goggling "international blog against racism."

A good general rule of the internet which applies even more in this case.
