Out of Afghanistan, into Haiti

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Haiti’s interim government has asked the U.S. and U.N. to deploy troops to protect key infrastructure as it tries to stabilize the country and prepare for elections in the aftermath of President Jovenel Moïse’s assassination. 

The stunning request for U.S. military support recalled the tumult following Haiti’s last presidential assassination, in 1915, when an angry mob dragged President Vilbrun Guillaume Sam out of the French Embassy and beat him to death. In response, President Woodrow Wilson sent the Marines into Haiti, justifying the American military occupation — which lasted nearly two decades — as a way to avert anarchy.

    Haiti can never be fixed. How many times have western powers come into that place,only to have their efforts trashed when they left. You cant do anything with a population with a average IQ of 67.

      UN troops are pretty rapey. The resulting kids should help boost the average IQ. Dark cloud/silver lining.

      Killing all the whites didn't help, either.
