Well said, Jim.

I know you like to play devil's advocate, DB, but I think your viewpoint is pretty narrow minded in this case. It's not like this group came down from the US to hand out motorcycles for the pastor's leisure. I'm guessing these vehicles were intended to be put to good use and further the aid efforts that are so desperately needed. I can't prove that of course, but call me an optimist.

A quote from the article: We put wheels under indigenous local pastors," Gibson explained.

I think it would be one thing if the bikes were intended for American missionaries, but these bikes were obviously intended for the use of local, Haitian pastors.
Overall, it's just another sad article from a very impoverished, devastated country. I feel very sorry for the Haitians and applaud anyone who is down there to help.
