In a time when every acre of good agricultural land means life or death for Haitians, the American embassy destroyed 10 acres directly, plus hundreds more as others endeavor to build businesses next to the American compound.
There were many other sites of less fertile ground available. |

Good point, very good point. However, the proximity to the airport is probably key. Also, getting away from the hustle and bustle of downtown may have been a factor. |
