I did not have time to respond to Natif-natal, but think that Bernadette's response covers quite well all the principal underlying issues when judging of Bill Clinton's contribution and importance to the Haitian reconstruction today.

It is a balancing act and a cold-head must lead the warm-heart in this matter.

The economy is divided in many sectors and usually one service job has positive reprecaution on many other jobs in the economy.

How are you going to develop the tourism industry if you do not have a variety of touristic accommodations for them?

Tourists will spend money in the country.

Yet, local agriculture produce could still feed the tourists, thus, positive effect on local agriculture.

These things are complementary and not in opposition.

Should Clinton invest the Bush-Clinton funds in everything and all at the same time?

Seriously!
Agriculture is fundamental for Haiti as it is the source for feeding the population and protects the economy in so many ways. Other sectors are also important and complementary for a balanced approach to development.
