Call goes out for Marshall Plan to rebuild from Haiti's ruins...........

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, said, "My belief is that Haiti, which has been incredibly hit by different things -- the food and the food prices crisis, then the hurricane, then the earthquake -- needs something which is big, not only a piecemeal approach, but something which will be much bigger to deal with the reconstruction of the country, some kind of a Marshall Plan.


The Marshall Plan was the huge U.S. effort after World War II to rebuild the shattered economies of Western Europe. It was launched by then-Secretary of State George Marshall with the goal of bolstering American allies in Europe as they faced a rising Soviet military threat.
Strauss-Kahn did not offer specifics of what he envisions for a Haiti rebuilding effort, nor did he outline a time frame…………
