Israeli leadership in Haiti

How is it possible that Haiti, a country that is so close to the United States (and its sophisticated healthcare and rescue operations), is left to look to Israel, a nation on the other side of the world, for real hospital care during its devastation.

Why were the Israelis able to set up the only field hospital (with technologically advanced healthcare data capabilities) while the U.S. and other countries couldn't get out of their own way? Is it because Israel is used to disasters and really knows how to deal with them with immediacy? Perhaps they don't have the bureaucracy that hinders other rescue missions? Or maybe they just "get it."

Whatever it is, the nations of the world would be smart to take a hard look at their procedures and figure out how to follow them.
