It is virtually impossible to get at truth in Haiti. But I would hate to see us once again becoming the occupying power there. We have an horrendous history of abuses of Haiti ranging back to its revolution against slavery and declaration of independence in 1804 (We were still a slave owning nation and threatened by this rebellion against slavery):

I admit that I am speculating here, as it is so difficult to get at the truths about Haiti.
