The Responsibility of Democracy

We've all seen the devastation on our screens the last few days, but Haiti has been suffering for a long time before today. In effect, they've been a country struggling because of corruption, dictaorships, and debt.

Pat Robertson made a silly comment that their suffering is because they 'made a deal with the devil'. Well maybe they did...

Please read this. I did, and it opened my eyes to the suffering of Haiti that has been much more long-term than the last few days, weeks or years; and I'm not talking about the disasters nature's thrown at them either.

Why can't those countries that say they're democratic be challenged by this example?

Time will tell.
