In another way it's sad to see that the US can respond to everyone else so quickly at the same time we leave our own citizens [Katrina] without help for days, even more in some cases.

agreed.
and i lay 100% of the blame on two sorry ass people for the whole Katrina thing.
Governor Blanco
Mayor Nagin
The Federal Government from The President down were ALL OVER the two of them to get rolling and they barely bothered to get off the couch.
so who gets the blame?
Bush
im no big Bush fan... but any old fool can see he caught a lot of misplaced anger and flak for that whole Katrina thing. The Feds did their job on that one... their only failure IMHO was Michael D. Brown being the FEMA director... should have had someone with more emergency management experience in that job.
Katrina... like Haiti, are disasters in more ways than one.
it will take a lot of time to bounce back from such an event... especially for such a poverty ridden place like Haiti
