Chaos in Haiti

Haiti Massacre

As if Haiti wasn't in bad enough shape...it's sad enough that the US staged the coup of Aristide last year, with no repurcussions as usual, based on some far-fetched rhetoric that Haiti needs new leadership to get out of its then violent and poverty-stricken state.

Yes, Haiti was in horrible condition, no thanks to the US policies that brought them there in the first place. But as always, whenever true democracy works its course particularly in the Southern Hemisphere, the US steps in to try to shut it down. If Venezuela were smaller I'm sure Chavez would've been long gone. I mean how many times does a guy have to get voted in before it counts? I guess democracy isn't democracy unless the outcome is agreeable to the United States.

And so fast forward almost one year. How's the situation in Haiti? More divided and violent than ever. No help from the outside.

Sound familiar? Because it's the same US policy that they've been enforcing upon the rest of the world over and over again.
