Why is Haiti so poor? A history of quake-hit island

Re: Why is Haiti so poor? A history of quake-hit island

What do you mean "taking" over? You do understand the concept of installing dictators and corrupt officials don't you?

You first mentioned moving in the Military and that is what I was referring to. Nobody is using the Military to take over Haiti.

My point is, you don't see Russian troops coming to "help" during a disaster.

Are you talking about Russians sending help to America or to places like Haiti?

If you're talking about Haiti, then you're wrong because Russia is actually sending troops. I guess the Russians want to occupy Haiti too eh? It's a giant earthquake occupation party, everyone is doing it.


If you're talking about them sending help to America, that's because there isn't any sort of help Russian troops could provide that America doesn't already have. We already have the planes, boats, and vehicles necessary to move things across land, sea, and air. And we already have manpower. Haiti is a small country and their infrastructure has been completely riddled. When the U.S was hit with Katrina, that's all that happened, Katrina got messed up, not the whole country. We still have our own troops and could easily use them. Why ask for needless help?

The reason the U.S is sending troops and the air force is because all the relief organizations lack the type of vehicles needed to move suck massive amounts of cargo at once. The massive cargo planes of the air force and giant navy carriers get the job done in a very quick and timely fashion.

Of course, the American/Hrya media is so good at twisting the actual story that even when you LITERALLY point out the facts and history, the people still believe the B.S.

What facts are you pointing out? What are the media doing to twist the situation in Haiti?

The uneducated are easily brainwashed. Maybe next time they should try constructing buildings that aren't susceptible to earthquakes with the "ahem" modern technology.

You do know I was being sarcastic....Do you really, truly, believe they've been brainwashed into chanting USA? Is it possible that they're happy somebody's helping them?

What should we do, should we sit back and not send any help, just to make sure nobody takes the help the wrong way?

Never. What's your point? How does this prove America is taking over Haiti?

I fail to see your point, again.

Those evil Americans sending in people to help, and look, they've already brainwashed the population to chant our name. Oh-em-eff-Gee, the horror.

This was the graceful transfer of UN occupation of Haiti to a US occupation.

In what way shape or form is this an occupation? Are we there against the will of the Haitian people?

Re: Why is Haiti so poor? A history of quake-hit island

Really... when is the last time you saw a foreign military on American soil after a natural disaster

Never. What's your point? How does this prove America is taking over Haiti?

I forgot, the situation in New Orleans was obviously under control after Hurricane Katrina.

I fail to see your point, again.

Nobody is taking over anything.

Really... when is the last time you saw a foreign military on American soil after a natural disaster. I forgot, the situation in New Orleans was obviously under control after Hurricane Katrina. American military presence in 130 countries around the world and growing...

See... sometimes you don't need to launch a war against a population of people but just "wait" for a "natural" disaster so you can move in the military and take over the land.

Port-au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) -- Aid is reaching earthquake-torn Haiti, but getting it to the people who need it remains a challenge.

Large quantities of medications, baby formula and other relief supplies are sitting on the tarmac and in warehouses at the Port-au-Prince airport, but no one is moving it out, according to CNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta.

"It's like everywhere we go, just walking through the airport, outside the airport even, people are saying, 'We need supplies,' " Gupta said.

Gupta found pallets of formula, pain medication and antibiotics standing unattended next to the runway.

"International aid contributions since the quake have totaled hundreds of millions of dollars. U.S. spending for relief in Haiti has hit $170 million, the federal government announced Thursday.

About 13,100 U.S. troops are in and around Haiti -- nearly 2,700 on the ground and 10,400 more offshore. Many Marines spend time in Haiti during the day but sleep on ships at night. More U.S. troops are to arrive by this weekend, bringing the total to about 4,600 troops on the ground."

Because previous generations of Haitians didn't establish the type of culture and government that would allow them to fight off outside forces and influence and now their kin are suffering and having to do the leg work.

A lot like Armenia.
