Minority report: Donating to Haiti may not help

The earthquake in Haiti is a terrible disaster. The suffering of many tens of thousands, if not more, is clearly unquestionable. Trying to alleviate that suffering seems like a human duty, and to suggest otherwise would be perceived as immoral. So before I proceed to do just that, let me make a subtle difference clear: these wrenched souls can't be helped, at least not by you. That they should be helped is a different matter, which I am not contesting.

Haiti: A Third World Tragedy, you can help

Most people who have the internet will know about Haiti. My Eyes read over countless lines of stories of mayhem, disaster and sadness. Being 5000 miles away sitting in my comfortable chair at work its hard to imagine what it must be like sweeping the rubble for a hope or a whisper of Family members, friends , teachers and neighbors all leveled by the massive earthquake. I cant even imagine what it must be like being there or worse waiting to hear from abroad news of loved ones survival or not.
