The aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti is horrifying. There is no doubt of that. But it has only been four days, and I'm already reading articles about people getting angry and frustrated over the response time of the relief effort.
What do they expect? The country is in ruins, shipping is having a difficult time docking, it takes time to mobilize rescue efforts, gather supplies and the personnel to distribute them, and done with a non-existent local communication network.
Maybe now people will begin to see that Bush didn't have a magic wand during Katrina any more than Hussein has one now.
