major tax liens against him here in the united states. the view of him in port-au-prince and haiti is he s a rich american who is above corruption and can come in and help. bottom line, haiti needs leadership. as you pointed out, it needs leadership at all levels. there are entrenched elites there, there are, you know, generations of corruption and problems and interference from outside powers. we can go on and on with the difficulties that haiti now faces. but if they have some strong leadership, if they have commitment from the international community, you know, wolf, more than $5 billion has been promised to haiti a couple months ago from countries around the world. guess how much of that money has actually been delivered so far? about 3% to 5% at the most. it s stunning that the international community which was so focused on this early on has literally not written the checks that they promised. the united states being one of those countries. whereas a country like colombia, austra
