Well done to the Aid effort the US is doing at the moment in Haiti i think its absolutely brilliant to see, if it wasnt for their Military prowess id say damn all would have been done by now, i dont see anybody else sending their hospital ships or Aircraft Carrriers or C-17's dropping aid ( Yes other Nations have Carriers and Hospital Ships and C-17's too ), the rest of the world has done sweet fcuk all compared to what America has done yet there will always be someone ready to bash them.

Well done indeed.

Indeed. Operation PR has been a success.

TheRealist · 19-01-2010 07:14PM

Pity they couldn't do the same for d'oul Hurricane Katrina...

They have done good here. Can't say much more really. Haiti isn't something we should use as a political stunt, or a means to attack another country's credibility. The US are doing good work here, and deserve a pat on the back for it.

Karoma · 19-01-2010 07:18PM

dlofnep: We do have every right to ask why they have done so much good here. Seriously, why care more about Haiti than the other nations that America has either been complacent about, or actively involved in ****ing up? It's a political stunt.

Man, they're just desperate people trying to make ends meet in desperate times.

I don't think they wnet there for the sport.
Haitis troubles are no where near over if there is a great emergency response, it was one of the worse places in the world before this and it's gonna take an awful lot to set it any where near to the right path.

Paddycrumlinman · 19-01-2010 07:20PM

The great old US of A never, let me stress never do anything off their own backs...

They will come out of it better off..... and smelling like roses via the Media.

Have you ever seen some of the people in the Military.... By Jesus, Retards is all's I can say...

Fair play for the help for sure but they will gain some how....

And if they didn't help there would be something else to say.

I would imagine the reason the USA can help more is because of the close proximity to the US mainland compared to other countries. To say that the rest of the world has done sweet fcuk all is an exageration I would think.

I don't know what news you've been looking at but aid has been sent from all around the world.

Sometimes, you just gotta give people their dues. I love to bash the US as much as the next guy - but I'm not going to bash anyone for helping Haiti.

I would unite with anyone to do right, and with nobody to do wrong.

It will be something and its not for the good of the US health either.

They've done good. No doubt about it. The question I have is why? You cannot answer that either. What is a a good deed with a bad motive..?

Poccington · 19-01-2010 07:26PM

They're damned if they do and they're damned if they don't.

No matter what America does, somebody will complain about it.

They're not going to invade Cuba.

Not to a comparable extent to the US.

It's pretty good to see their military being used to save lives rather than to take them. Obviously Haiti are their neighbours (by 700 miles) so they're at a far better position than other developed countries to help, but they could have very easily done very little.

Let's see their response if something similar were to happen in Cuba.

Why? To help people who are unfortunate.

Let's hear your theory. I'm open-minded.

pljudge321 · 19-01-2010 07:32PM

Seeing as Haiti is essentially an ex-colony of the United States they kind of owe them.

Where's the bad motive, do you know? The US was the first into Bada Aceh, the worse hit area after the tsunami, what was the bad motive there?

Hazys · 19-01-2010 07:32PM

Give credit where credit is due.

To say other countries have done fcuk all, is a bit unfair but in comparison to the US no other country has come close to the help they have given.

Well they sent aid to Iran ater an earthquale a efw years ago so I'm sure they'd send aid to Cuba. Bet you can't wait for Karen Colemans show this weekend.

Was that before or after ~Ahmadinejad became president?

During, honestly don't know what kind of point you're making.
It's the type of moronic logic going on in this thread that gives fuels to the morons on Fox that everyone is out to get the US.

The anti-Iranian rhetoric has been upped since Ahmadinejad took over. This is partly to do with what he said about Israel.

I'll say fair play to them but I think everyone's going to be cynical about the way they go on.

Who cares? They're saving lives and are the only crowd out there properly helping them. It's great that politics encourage this kind of behaviour. I guess it'd be great if they did nothing, we'd all be patting the Americans on the back and saying "well done, it's good to see you're not at those political stunts anymore".

USA! USA! USA!
