Haiti right focus for U.S. care

Sat., Jan. 16, 2010

The Spokesman-Review

I have read and listened about the terrible destruction and loss of life in Haiti. This is where our dollars and support need to go, not to continue to pay for a war in Iraq with no end in sight.

Haiti will need years and years of assistance. If the United States is to continue to be a country that cares, we need to get our priorities straight.
