It is very sad what happened to Haiti.
The US military presence – 2,000 additional airborne troops were due to arrive on Tuesday to join 1,000 already on the ground – will focus on securing aid delivery points in advance and then ferrying in supplies.
Mr Gates has said US soldiers are under orders to defend themselves, as well as Haitians and foreigners who face a threat.
US troops ramped up their operation to ferry food and other supplies by helicopter to victims of the disaster.
My question is this, what is the U.S. doing there? Nation building? Should this operation be under U.N. control only?
Why are we doing this? We are not saving people. What are we doing?
I thought we were there to help not build.
