3. Some of us will continue to pay attention
and the fear that some of the same crap that went on during Katrina will happen here is real. And some will... but for macro political reasons there will be significant diffrences from the usual pattern of the last thirty years.

We may even see a change in the international finance system and aid...

There are macro political reasons for that. But hell, if that helps the Haitian people, I am all for it.

But the American Left is getting blindsided by this... while they scream disaster capitalism... something new is coming out of the rubble... and it is damn early to see whether this is good, bad, or most likely shades of gray.
