An injured child receives treatment Wednesday in Port-au-Prince. PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — As darkness fell on Haiti's capital Wednesday, crowds gathered in the streets to spend the evening in the relative safety of the outdoors, their lives turned upside down by Tuesday's devastating magnitude-7 earthquake. Many survivors broke out into communal song, seeking to soothe themselves and remain calm in a city with no power, little water, a limited number of habitable buildings and scores of bodies strewn along roadways. About 6:30 p.m., the songs turned into screams, as a strong aftershock hit. Moments later, the crowds in the street grew larger, as many of those who had remained inside ran from their shaky shelters, away from the walls and ceilings that had caused such destruction a day earlier.

The Decline of America's Soft Power Anti-Americanism has increased in recent years, and the United States' soft power -- its ability to attract others by the legitimacy of U.S. policies and the values that underlie them -- is in decline as a result. According to Gallup International polls, pluralities in 29 countries say that Washington's policies have had a negative effect on their view of the United States. A Eurobarometer poll found that a majority of Europeans believes that Washington has hindered efforts to fight global poverty, protect the environment, and maintain peace. Skeptics of soft power (Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld professes not even to understand the term) claim that popularity is ephemeral and should not guide foreign policy.
