I believe one of the US ships is going to leave for Haiti shortly.

We are sending a hospital ship and the carrier Carl Vincent with a
bunch of helicopters.
I think they also should send a cruise ship or two to evacuate all the
foreigners. The airport is still basically down although they are
still taking some flights.

I was thinking that they should send a cruise ship also, but not for
evacuation necessarily nor at first. I believe cruise ships volunteered
during Katrina... if I'm remembering that right.

Actually these Haitians are more resourceful than the people in NOLA.

And they are getting aid quicker to Haiti than they did in NOLA

The leaders of Haiti are smarter than the leaders of NOLA were. *Plus

Oh, yes, you can tell by their stringent building codes, their
excellent work in getting their economy back on track, their work on
keeping crime in check and their work in erradicating AIDS.

Why are you coming down so hard on the NOLA politicians. Hell, they
were Democrats. I'd think you'd be defending them, not talking about
how friggin' stupid they were. Perhaps they'll elect a Republican
mayor who will do something about their economy, crime, and their AIDS
problem. Maybe he'll do something about their education and unwed
mother problems also.
