When disaster strikes, the response can be disastrous. The reaction to the January 12th quake in Haiti is perhaps not deserving of such derision. But initial attempts to deliver and distribute aid were disappointing to say the least. One major criticism launched by Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) was that the US push to get troops into the country has been a major cause of the slow influx of material assistance.
