Everyone in Haiti is beginning to fray – the Haitians, the relief workers, and particularly Diane Sawyer who is going to be kicking ass and taking names if they don’t start distributing food and water pretty soon. What she’s seeing is sure hard to watch for all of us. The Washington Post has a really good Satellite Graphic that shows the destruction. You can zoom down and see the problem – roads blocked by debris everywhere.
Last week, I was speculating that a lot of the current anger and blaming going on in American life is coming from a national grieving process over all the losses we experienced during the Bush years [American Lamentations…]. I think I’m right about that. Haiti is bringing up Katrina and 9/11; the underwear bomber brings up 9/11; the Financial Hearings bring up the 2008 Crash, the housing bubble; and so on. It’s like we can’t claw ourselves free and are spitting and spewing at anything that moves.
