Haiti Question

[Hash]

Given that Haiti is practically at its knees without a functioning government, if their president requests that the United States occupy and run the country (at least temporarily) until it gets back on its feet, should we do so? 

No. The last time the US occupied Haiti you indirectly encouraged the rise of Duvalier just like you indirectly encouraged the rise of Pol Pot in Cambodia by bombing the sh**t out of the country and supporting a corrupt, venal puppet.

Foreign occupation is a bad idea. Anywhere. You cause more sh**t than any incompetent local loser can.

Yes. The country needs to be reconstructed, and Americans are the only ones who can do that

Read my post. Any foreign occupation, whatever its original motive, is always bad in the long run.

We have occupied Haiti before, for extended periods of time.

And that wasn't a good idea in the long run.

You should try to interest yourself in the word...cooperation. That's a cool concept in which your compassion, given you assume you have some, could find a way to express itself beyond 'throwing money'.

Don't try to inject intelligence and common sense into a irrecoverable retard. It's quite futile.
