Men, women and children are starving to death just off the horizon from Florida shores.  Haiti, already the Western hemisphere’s poorest nation, is suffering through another debilitating and deadly crisis.  The U.N. has sent some food but not nearly enough.  Both domestic and foreign agencies are providing meager assistance.  Logistics seem to be a major problem.  As it happens, The United States Marines are good at logistics, humanitarian assistance and they are not too far from Haiti.

At a time when the Russian navy is playing war with their new allies in South America, it is of vital importance that the United States stand up against starvation and despair in the area.  There is simply no excuse for allowing these poor people to suffer and die.  We have the aide, the power, the logistics and our biggest asset in this area, the Marine Cops.  Let the Russians play with tyrants, we have lives to save.

I have said it before and I will say it again, there is no better way to show the world the might of the U.S. than by offering assistance to our neighbors.  Sure, we can kill a cockroach in Afghanistan with a precision bomb, but can we, will we, save the lives of innocents in our backyard?  Compassion, power, integrity and solidarity;  Mr. President, save the Haitians.
