I'm puzzled, ambiguity? In any case it is from Cite Soleil, in Port au 
Prince, Haiti. It is a location seeped in death and despair. It's been 
20 years since I've been there but nothing changes. Bloated children 
with rust-colored hair are the rule rather than the exception. Open 
ditches, filled with raw sewage, flow right through the area. It is not 
unusual for small children to fall in and drown in these ditches.  I 
made two trips there in the late 80's  and still can't put it out of my 
mind. Can you imagine? We've spent billions destroying Iraq, countless 
innocent lives have been lost and the place must reek of horror. 
Meanwhile, Haiti, a short hop from our coast, continues to wallow in 
filth, starvation, murder and neglect. Were I not an atheist I'd think 
we'd have to burn in hell for letting Haiti exist as it does.

Now, aren't you sorry you asked? :'(
