I'm going to say that this is truly tragic, what happened to these missionaries. They stayed in spite of the dangerous conditions around them, which truly speaks to their selflessness. They didn't go to Haiti to make a political statement or try to make money/profit off of the people. They went because they believed in helping others.

I have friends doing similar things in the area, and they've expressed they'll remain to continue to to work. The kids are the ones who suffer the most in these circumstances. If missions start to leave the country then there are orphanages all over the country that will be immediately shut down, and the kids that had homes and food will be on the street and starving. The locals will not do it. It's sad to see this kind of violence against people just doing a good thing in an area that needs it.
