Apparently, the US and the rest of the Western hemisphere's guilty conscience got the best of them. As of this weekend troops and humanitarian organizations began flocking to Haiti to relieve them of (wait for it)...cholera. Exactly what did they think would happen when they left a country that barely had the ability to get on one knee not to talk of standing on its own to feet. There are still a plethora of camps set up due to the lack of infrastructure. There is no excuse for this. This is a shame for every country and organization that had the capacity to help and didn't. This is also a shame for organizations that took money and did nothing (Ahem..Red Cross). Well...let's watch and see exactly what will happen next. Hopefully not another bandaid on an open wound.
