I have spent the better part of tonight watching the coverage of the God awful destruction in Haiti. I am so confused. Where is the their government? People are just laying in streets, standing around, hurt, confused, in shock and you see no signs, NO signs of any type of government help!! I understand the presidents palace was partially destroyed but he is okay. Where is he? Why isn’t he in a vehicle going down to the people, reassuring them, helping them? Why isn’t he opening the gates to the lawn area so people can go lay down there? Why can CNN and Katie Couric be broadcasting from there with generators and lights and skype and there is no humanitarian aid there yet? If they can fly in why can’t planes with food, water and medical supplies? The reporters all keep saying it will be a couple days yet until the marines get there or the planes with medical supplies and help and yet CNN is there!!! I get that people can’t and don’t want to go into their homes but it appears there is not a single entity there starting to direct people to an area to get info, help, food or to start moving bodies for heavens sake!! It is next to the Dominican Republic where people go to vacation all the time!! Why aren’t they sending in vehicles, food, help?? Towns close to there were only hit with aftershocks.…why aren’t they rushing in to help??? I am SO confused watching the victims in Haiti fending for themselves! Where is everyone????
WHERE ARE THE LEADERS?
