    Best to look at history. The US hasn’t really intervened in Haiti that often and when we did it was a failure. Many different groups have tried. Currently, it’s Kenyans

      We also blew our chance to support Haiti back when they first revolted because we didn’t want our slaves to get any ideas.

      As always, American Ideals are based on a lie.

      Haiti was punished by the West for daring to fight against their oppressors, and we all, collectively, never stopped trying to crush them.

      Now they have the failed state which the West absolutely caused, and scum in this country blame them for the situation they were put in.

        I do appreciate the young communists that show up here to blame the US first. Even if this were true, it couldn’t account for the dozen of times in the 19th - 21st centuries when there were coups in Haiti and certainly not the cause of Haiti’s traavails. But, it’s probably not true. 2004 was not the first time there was a Coup by the Haitian military against Aristide. He was also overthrown by the military in 1994. Of course he blamed the US. That’s what autocratic rulers do.
