Haiti’s holocaust

[David2004]

The great wrath of mother nature has hit the people of Haiti’s for the world to see. Changing the people of the worlds perceptive to the way thing are seen in the world around them. The United Nation Peace keeping Forces and the international NGO’s going into a disaster of Biblical proportion. It is a holocaust that happened in one day for a moment similar to an atomic holocaust. Whether it is a man made or nature created holocaust the long living consequences are very similar. There is no ways in correcting the great wrongs that have been done to so many Haitian people in this holocaust. You can only try to help the victims that are still living in making there lives better.

There are different stages of shock that evolve over time depending upon ones proximity and ties to the epic center of such a great disaster. The crying pain of the people of Haiti are heard loud and clear today by the people of the world. With the worst part of the pain and sorrow yet to come. Hundreds of millions of dollars will be raised and thousands of volunteers from all over the wold will go to Haiti to help. The Israeli government one of many nations sending a medical teams to create a medical trauma centers in Haiti. The scars of the living victims of Haiti and volunteer workers will live on far beyond the memory of majority of the people around the world.

Today the international mass media can cover live the natural disaster in Haiti. Tomorrow the situation will become too dangerous for them and the international volunteer relief workers. As the shock wears off and the condition worsen in a very bad situation that was not to good to begin with. Lawlessness and chaos are going to hinder the international relief efforts. The United Nations with a budget the approximate size of the University of Minnesota is totally is going to be over whelmed by this crisis.

What good could ever come out of such a natural holocaust as in Haiti. Very little for Haitians people at the epic center but for many millions of people around the world it could be an eye opener to how fortunate they really are. Unfortunately it takes such a holocaust in pulling the nations of the world armies together to do humanitarian work. Maybe some of the Haitian lessons taught at schools all around the world, will influence the children in what they want to be when they grow up for the better. May the pain and sorrow of the people of Haiti be a lesson to so many people around the world to how fortunate they really are.

There is no ways in correcting the great wrongs that have been done to so many Haitian people in this holocaust.

Nice try. Close, but "no cigar".

"Wrongs?" In order to have a "wrong" you must first define the morality used to determine wrong vs. right.

What "wrongs" are you talking about correcting? What would have been "right"?

Who's to be punished for these "wrongs"?

I say we take the party who committed these "wrongs" and punish them with the same thing the people of Haiti were wronged with. Wouldn't this be justice?

Oh. By the way, your deep and melodramatic rant about the holocaust, while quite correct in addressing the sadness and ill fortune that the people of Haiti have endured, doesn't fly past my liberal guilt detector.

If you are so bleeding heart caring enough to write a full paragraph rant to voice your despair about the suffering Haitian people are going through.....

.....What about The Dominican Republic? Are they chopped liver? Do you have any emotion for the people of The Dominican Republic? What about their suffering? Do you think the earthquake rolled through the ground and said to itself, "Hey, this is Haiti's border! I think I'll just stop here!"?

Evil earthquake. How dare it think that? Maybe we should punish it for the wrong it has committed.

Sometimes God allows to calamity to get attention of many

I noticed not that many people were interested in the people of the Sichuan when they had this huge earthquake right before the gnikcuf Olympics in 2008. Of course, the chinese government had more means than Haïti to send rescue teams and all, but the general feel was that it didn't really matter, once the presidents of western leading countries did their duty of saying "It's sad, we propose our help".

China:

Wikipedia:

According to Chinese state officials, the quake caused 69,181 known deaths including 68,636 in Sichuan province; 18,498 people are listed as missing, and 374,176 injured, but these figures may further increase as more reports come in. This estimate includes 158 earthquake relief workers who were killed in landslides as they tried to repair roads

The New York Times:

On the afternoon of May 12, 2008, a 7.9-magnitude earthquake hit Sichuan Province, a mountainous region in Western China, killing about 70,000 people and leaving over 18,000 missing. Over 15 million people lived in the affected area, including almost 4 million in the city of Chengdu.

Haïti:

Wikipedia:

The earthquake struck in the most populated area of the country. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies estimates that as many as 3 million people had been affected by the quake. On 10 February the Haitian government gave a confirmed death toll of 230,000.


Yeah, what are 70 thousands people compared to 230 thousands?

Anyway, there is a lot of earthquakes in the world over a year.
