The horrible situation there is deteriorating further into mob
violence and desperation. Food and water trucks can barely deliver
because of the crowds' swarm. So very sad.

Reports today say there is isolated issues but overall calm prevails.
The
UN is reporting progress being made getting relief supplies out.

Not according to NPR yesterday morning. With the military coming in
your statement may become fact.

This is about the eighth day after the earthquake and the military is just
now coming in to calm a deteriorating situation. Really, is there anyone
standing who didn't think about the high probability of looting and
killing? The only one I can think of lives on Pennsylvania Avenue in DC.

The military is *not* restoring calm. UN peacekeepers are doing that.
No, the Orwellian UN "Peacekeepers" are firing rubber bullets at the
uppity little brown people.

The
State Department has said the military has no police role and will not.
There are no reports of killing. As for looting maybe it is called
*survival?" Do you loot food and water when you are dying of thirst and
hunger? Every single account coming out of Haiti is that things could be a
whole lot worse and the calm is amazing.
Bullshit, Paul
Redundant.
