HAITI WANTS US TO RUN HAITI

Haitians want the US government to "take over" their ailing nation

By VBS STAFF

Someone should tell those Haitians that it generally doesn’t end well when the US steps in to run a foreign country. But maybe it’ll work better since the Haitians actually want us in their country.

The request for more American intervention comes after US troops in Haiti delivered hundreds of tons of rice to the homeless of Port-Au-Prince. Officials in the Obama administration, meanwhile, are struggling to lower expectations. It’s nice to help insofar as it makes us look good, but anything beyond that gets expensive, and fast.
