TRAGEDY IN HAITI

A 7.0 earthquake hit Haiti with a vengence yesterday, possibly killing thousands, and surely injuring as many. It totally destroyed the capital city of Port-au Prince. A country already suffering from extreme poverty, has little hope of help other than from outside nations.

President Obama moved the quickest he has since taking office, to help this tiny nation. I am glad to see that he has some ability to see the immediate need of these people, instead of taking five or six weeks to decide to go there.

Doctors without Borders are already there treating the injured. With all of the hospitals destroyed in the quake, the U.S.S. Comfort, a hospital ship, is in route.

We pray for all of the people there and hope they will find many of those trapped in the debris, still alive.
