They call on Ms Rice to pressure the UN to "confront and ultimately eliminate" the disease.

The letter says the UN should help Haiti mobilise enough money to build water and sewage systems to tackle the disease.

While members of Congress often weigh in on foreign policy issues like Iran or Israel, it is unusual for so many members to sign a letter about a small Caribbean state like Haiti.

I gathered strong circumstantial evidence that UN peacekeepers brought cholera to Haiti during a visit late last year:

• The epidemic started near a Nepalese UN base
• The UN base dumped raw sewage, which spreads the disease, near the country's main Artibonite River
• Cholera spread down the Artibonite River and into the slums of the capital Port au Prince
• Cholera was endemic in Nepal but had not been present in Haiti for a century

Mr Clinton has acknowledged that UN soldiers were the "proximate cause" of the cholera.

But UN officials shy away from taking full blame or issuing an apology.

They say tackling the disease is more important than apportioning blame.

They may also be reticent because Haitian and US lawyers are trying to sue the UN for financial compensation for the victims of cholera.

This is bullshit. There are no organizations in the world that requires you to take a test for cholera so why would anyone scan individuals for cholera? In that case you will have to sue the whole African continent for giving  AIDS to the world world.

I thought Nepal was Rising. Turns out it's just the Diarrhoea Patients that are Rising up.

TheRisingNepal: Diarrhea patients rising up

This is such a shame for Nepal. Nepal army still doesn't admit it, now they will also be scrutinized in future. Army should take responsibility, they failed to do proper medical check-ups before sending these soldiers, and are probably still doing the same. NO, it's not ok to infect the country with new DISEASE. Army policies are perhaps not yet changed, and they should take the responsibility; DENIAL is not going to work.
