Tornado Alley (PROG)

The problems in Haiti are somewhat intractable.

History there is a nightmare of despotism and mismanagement. What was once the crown jewel of France's colonial empire has been reduced to a basket case. The land on the Dominican side of the border is rich and productive. At one time so was Haiti, but two and a half centuries of environmental destruction have left it largely barren.

There's an invitation to failure in even trying to help, and yet we have an obligation as human beings.
