...Pentagon analysis of the shooting rampage that left 13 people dead at the Army base at Fort Hood, Texas, in November concluded that the military was ill equipped to identify threats within its ranks.

Already one of the poorest countries in the world before the natural disaster, Haiti will need aid not only immediately but also years down the road as it reconstructs its infrastructure, recollects its government, and revamps its economy. This extended recovery mission will require a team committed for the long haul as well as a multilateral approach that spreads responsibility amongst all members of the world community. For these reasons, the United Nations...
