1. And Castro, but like Iraq over Iran

Bush only picked on a very weak nation, and now the stronger nations will be prepared.

3. doubt it

I'm not sure if we were involved in this at all to be honest.. anyway let's say we were...

Hardly a measure of force to be able to get the leader of the poorest nation on the western hemisphere, to get rid of him

5. Straighten me out here.

Just a couple days ago, the board was on fire with people complaining that the US was standing by and letting Haiti burn. Now the US does steps in and does something about it and now we're interventionists sending messages.

What gives?

8. What exactly did the US do to preserve Democracy in Haiti?

:shrug: I don't know what you are referring to. Is it the sending of troops to aid the rebels?

[Hammie]

11. Why is it our job to preserve Democracy

I don't think it is any more our job to preserve Democracy in Haiti than it is in Iraq.

Actually, now that we've stuck our noses in both places, it kind of is our job, I really mean it wasn't our job before we butted in.

7. The Militarization of the Caribbean Basin

"Washington seeks to reinstate Haiti as a full-fledged US colony, with all the appearances of a functioning democracy. The objective is to impose a puppet regime in Port-au-Prince and establish a permanent US military presence in Haiti.

The US Administration ultimately seeks to militarize the Caribbean basin.

The island of Hispaniola is a gateway to the Caribbean basin, strategically located between Cuba to the North West and Venezuela to the South. The militarization of the island, with the establishment of US military bases, is not only intended to put political pressure on Cuba and Venezuela, it is also geared towards the protection of the multibillion dollar narcotics transshipment trade through Haiti, from production sites in Colombia, Peru and Bolivia.

The militarisation of the Caribbean basin is, in some regards, similar to that imposed by Washington on the Andean Region of South America under "Plan Colombia', renamed "The Andean Initiative". The latter constitutes the basis for the militarisation of oil and gas wells, as well as pipeline routes and transportation corridors. It also protects the narcotics trade."
