Commentator Greg Palast questions the slowness of the American response to the Haiti disaster, comparing it with Iceland's teams which have been on the ground for several days. He also details some of the brutal history of Haiti, including the  Duvaliers, but stretching back to a century of reparations paid to French merchants for compensation after the original slave uprising on what was once a fertile and prosperous island.
