The truth is that when disaster strikes like that one in Haiti, people will panic even if they are miles away from the country. They panic cause they get scared that it can happen to them to. Now, even though everyone likes to help out not everyone has the chance to do so. We have experienced rescuers and military people who are capable of properly planning and executing the right rescue techniques and search methods. But that doesn't mean that other people cannot help cause there is a lot that we can do even if we are not physically there to help dig out collapsed building or help in carrying the victims. We can always help by sharing financial support and prayers for those who needs help. It was great on how the whole world was concerned and are helping out after the disaster and I do hope that it wouldn't be just after disasters and natural calamities that the world would reach out to each other.

DC logistics folks are busily working to address the challenging logistics to expedite response. As an int'l business development executive who has the privilege to work with top tier government and commerical resources, anyone can criticize the US, especially the Europeans who have been making every attempt to criticize the US at every turn, on every issue, making every effort to win trade agreements with Caribbean and throughout South America, even enjoing the Vatican and the influence it has with Catholics in South America, writing new agreements and taking business from the US - so despite the horrendous scenario in Haiti, again, politicizing and criticism by others who prefer politics versus sincerity, WE are present in large numbers, opened the airport control ops in 26 minutes and WE are mustering what will be an impressive - long-term - commitment to the good people of Haiti, with South Command and others coordinating a complex, yet organized response w/supplies and much compassion - a special relationship WE have with our neighbors and friends who have been subjected to the unthinkable. While we certainly have seen a clear message from the Senate election here in Boston to Washington and Congress that folks are not happy w/the same 'ol, same 'ol politics and partsian politics and we know unemployment numbers will only get worse and the printing of "fiat dollars" and the lack of transparency will only place us in further peril as a bankrupt nation, void of economic leadership who must make tough choices, WE as a nation of people who despite our politicians refer to our Constitution, WE know what lies ahead and are weary, however WE have many resources and WE will share with our Haitian neighbors and friends as we have done with so many in lands far yonder to bring hope from despair. WE are resilient, WE are Americans and WE are proud of those who serve us from the top tier throughout in the US military who reach with clasped hand and big heart to make a difference. Be assured that the world will once again see an impresive and meaningful relief assistance program for Haiti and their devastation and despair will be replaced with new hope, a renewed faith in the American flag and WE as caring people who have also been very disturbed by CNN and Fox news reports updating us. God Bless America! Our Love and compassion to the people of Haiti!

Why good lawyers try to keep their clients out of court. Well he had a legal background and knew you can’t win every case no matter how good the facts or law for your position.

Yes definitely a different paradigm. Of course the choice to militarize the response in Haiti and even Katrina (Coast Guard is a uniformed military service which comes under DOD jurisdiction upon declaration of WAR) was ordained long ago as the potential civil agency responders were drained of resources by duplicatino and funding of military programs that have limited use today. We don't face any opponents that can field 100 mech-infantry divisions. I was shown pictures of the port devastation and second hand comments by those with more expertise indicate will take a major effort to get those facilities back to where they were, much less better. IMO will take two years so alternatives must be planned. WOW! What a great post Mark! Thanks for articulating the two C4s and differences. Yes definitely a different paradigm.
