A week or so ago the United States "condemned what it described as a systematic violation of human rights, fundamental freedoms and attacks on the press in Haiti, urging the government to counter a proliferation of gangs and violence." Reportedly our embassy is closed today.

Those poor people. Haitians need a break, one that sticks, and I hope we somehow help them make it happen.
