  Haiti is a very unfortunate country. For years it ticked over under the guiding hands, if you can call them that, of Papa Doc. There was much fear, much talk of terror and voodooism and so on. When Papa Doc died and moved on to the destination villains go to in the afterlife, his son Baby Doc took over intending to carry on the reign of terror and misery and of the course dire poverty.
  
  They managed to get rid of him in fairly short order and just as they seem to have the tiny acorns of a proper state in place...the earthquake. As someone on TV said the other day...Haiti doesnt exist anymore.
  
  Yes there has been great discussion about how the International rescue services are failing to get the job done, but at a guess I think its just the sheer scale of the problems this time. But thank god they are there trying.
