Haiti Cholera Clashes: News I Don't Want to Read

Among things I don't want to see in the news:
UN peacekeepers in Haiti have shot dead at least one person in clashes sparked by claims that Nepalese soldiers brought the cholera epidemic that has swept the country, killing 1,000 people.
Crowds in two northern towns threw stones, set up burning barricades and blocked roads to protest against the presence of the foreign troops and the government's response to the crisis, which has unsettled the authorities and the UN in the runup to elections on 28 November.
UN Peacekeepers, otherwise known as "my family."
Well, nothing's going to be solved by my worrying about it. And a lot of dust bunnies here to vacuum.

Great posts, Claire, but it's obvious you're procrastinating. Get to your task.

Get ready for exponential catastrophe. It is trebling weekly. Too bad. I do some disaster relief work and no one tried very hard when they had their earthquake.
Clinton's handiwork weakened the system and now they reap the whirlwind.
Only the French kept it together some how.
Sort of a lietmotiv there...
