Good Intentions... Bad Results

I am a liberal. But I am also practical. When the earthquake happened in Haiti I was all to happy to contribute to the relief efforts. But now I'm starting to wonder about the intentions of some of the aid agencies. I read an AP story (here's one digital version: http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20100227/NEWS02/702279932) that revealed that shipments of rice into Haiti are undercutting Haitian farmers. So people who have jobs and are contributing to the economic health of the country are now suffering.
