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.
