Every day in Haiti is a humanitarian tragedy - and then this happens. Given the apparent extent of damage, at this point we have to assume that Haiti as a functioning nation state doesn't exist. We will have to bring EVERYTHING.

It's too soon to talk about how long we may be involved in Haiti's recovery, but I think this going to be a very large commitment - of the kind we should be making, instead of building sand castles in Afghanistan and Iraq or Yemen.
