Essay On Haiti Tragedy

Improved Essays
The Rev. Pat Robertson made a very unfortunate pronouncement about the Haiti tragedy on this last Tuesday night.

Here is what I think about: I am thankful God does not:1- Judge us as a human would do.2- Save us as a bulk processing3- Change his love towards us4- Delay His promise Despite what “Times magazine” web page says about his self-promotion on the prediction of events, I would like to say that many people, including himself, forgets about the moment we live in history. The measure of our expectation about something to happen is directly proportional to the amount of its importance for us plus how much information we have or want to know about it. It's necessary to be dreaming and waiting for it in order to see the signs of its coming. As the same way, the wise men could not be deceived by that stars because they had

I hope you can you see my point in here. Some may be would say that our actions are different than Haiti’s attitude couple centuries ago when they set up a pact with the devil (Times magazine website, Jan/13/2010) and, according to this theory, the whole cursing was supposed attributed to the country. If I assume that it was a true fact, in both cases the denial of God as the center of the nation was made by actions and of influential leaders. So what about the many God fearing people in both countries? I believe God is still the same and He takes not pleasure in our perishing (Ezekiel 18:32). His desire is to save us depend only on us, not in our country leaders. God who would be willing to save Sodom and Gomorra from destruction if they repent themselves, is longing to save us from destruction if we obey Him. This is why He chooses Lot and his family to serve Him. So why did the catastrophe at Haiti in fact Happen? To answer this universal question is to agonize again with the consequences of a sinful world and try to

Some other things also featured in this film include how “zombie powder” is made, how people are brought back from the brink of death, and how people are forced to become these “zombies” so that people may use them as slaves.

    My policy recommendation is that the United States should not invade Haiti. Aside from it not being in the best interest of the United States, there are several other reasons on why we should not be invading Haiti. The crisis in Haiti isn’t something that directly affects the United States and in recent times we haven’t handled foreign affairs in the best way that we could have. For example, you have not made firm decisions regarding a variety of past crises such as North Korea’s nuclear program and the war in Bosnia. Additionally, this is an issue of foreign affairs and the confidence of the American people in this area isn’t the strongest right now.…

    Hurricane Katrina, one of the deadliest hurricanes in United States history, struck New Orleans in 2005. By the time the hurricane made landfall, heavy rains had already threatened the city’s infrastructure. The levees contributed to the flooding which submerged approximately 80% of the metropolitan area. It is believed that then-president George W.

To support this claim, research will examine the weakness of the levees along with the forecasts filed by Homeland Security officials, their accuracy in terms of predicting how structural failures could have been avoided,…
