Reconstruction document

This document is well-done. It includes a nice summary of Haiti's improvements prior to the earthquake, the challenges Haiti has always faced that will continue to be part of its future (earthquake-potential, hurricanes, drug thorough-fare), and summarizes a number of important points that I think make a lot of sense in considering Haiti's rebuilding.

The article has perhaps the greatest understatement (in italics below) I've ever seen regarding Haiti.

However, Haiti's vulnerability also stems from its failure to overcome two centuries of bad governments, inequitable and centralized political and economic power structures in Port au Prince, and not-always-benign foreign interventions.

Nevertheless, the article is worth a read.
