Protesters in Haiti, who blame United Nations troops for a cholera epidemic that has killed hundreds, have attacked peacekeepers with rocks in two cities.
I'd wager you are right. It would be frustrating to be in their situation, and combine that with little or no education all it would take is for one slightly demented but eloquent speaker to lay the blame at the feet of the UN and the people will believe it.

They're venting because the damage is so extensive it'll take an age to fix, and the majority of people can't do it themselves. Hence they feel powerless and need someone to blame. I'd wager the majority of people aren't educated and so wouldn't know basic science, that it's not the UN's fault.
Yea they need help alright, when they ask for help all the supplies that are sent from other countries end up in warehouses and there they stay.We can send all the supplies on the world and if thy don't get to the people what good does it do?They don't have to drink dirty water they choose to because its a choice between that and water that has been poisoned by the U.N.They may not have access to the internet like we do but they have the sense to know whats going on,especially when it comes governments in their country and around the world.Oh yea they know who the hand belongs to.........

I think this is called 'biting the hand that feeds you'. How do you fix it? Remove the hand. A bit harsh on those who need help.

Alright ATS, what do you think?
*Are the Haitians lashing out because everyone needs SOMEONE to blame?
or
*Is the UN really at fault here?
