No, I think bcholmes believes what she's been told by so many Haitians: that they demand the right to determine what the future shape of their country will be, without interference. I don't think we should just "pump aid into the country." But I think we owe Haiti restitution and compensation, though. Especially France. If they could write Haiti a cheque for the USD $21B they owe Haiti, that'd balance the books, and give the Haitian government lots of money to work with.
