Reply #128: in a weeks time we will find if this is a legitimate question...

i partially suspect it is, especially with Doctors w/o Borders, Brazil (who is in charge of the UN effort there) and France -- the latter 2 putting in formal complaints to the UN -- finding the USA being more of a hinderance than a help.

besides, the main issue is to get to the region of the island. even if the infrastructure is out on the city alone, being able to get to Cape Haitien or even Dominican Republic ports would be easy to do "bomber runs" of food drops. we had a complex system of air drops in place for Berlin so close to the end of WW2 when the wall was going up; with 40+ years of technology and logistic knowhow atop that i am sure we could be doing a lot better than what we have so far.

BUT... time will tell. and i hate having me and "them dirty hippie peaceniks" being proven right time and time again. but if silent patience is needed to be "proven wrong for the better" then i will. but if suspicions are again confirmed... i'd appreciate some contrition from the knee-jerk reactionary committee for once.

so let's wait and see what happens in the next few days -- embarrassingly, we have the time to speculate on such things. :(
