21. From what I gather
this is a pretty accurate statement - that the bushco not only starved aid to Haiti - but also put pressure on other agencies to stop the flow of money to Haiti... and then let things fester... and as things disintigrated did nothing more than a couple of symbolic (empty) phone calls?! The contrast to how Clinton handled an earlier crisis is a strong juxtaposition to the intentional malignent ineptness of how Bushco has handled the situation.

"There is no excuse of allowing this to happen"... strong close - only thing I would change (but until info is more widely available to be known by the public it is probably not wise yet to say) is that the case doesn't seem to be just about "allowing" it to happen... but working subtly to "facilitate" its happening.
