Re: Why Does US Care About Haiti
The U.S.-led UN military intervention in Haiti is a continuation of 200 years of neo-colonialism. On February 29, the United Nations Security Council handed George Bush a "mandate" to invade-—with France, Canada, and Chile as accomplices.
This is the third U.S. occupation. The other two, no less criminal, were under Democratic Party presidents. Despite Washington's support to every dictatorship in Haiti's history, the U.S. has intervened each time in the name of "democracy."
Many U.S. citizens would agree that it is in America's best interest to maintain some level of involvement over a non-democratic country that lies within "x" miles of our continental borders. Most notably because of 9/11.
