You got your ass handed to you repeatedly and you keep coming back...

You keep talking about how we are such bullies and we won't send troops to Hati. What did we do? SENT TROOPS TO HATI. So it may be to secure our interests, is that wrong?

Even if American does decide to send thousands of troops to keep their puppet in power...look at the f-ing date of this thread...while your checking the date read the title again idiot.

[Woodrow]

So what I'm getting out of this thread is that you think the US should send it's military when there is a domestic problem in a country...

That's some SMART thinking there.

And what does the date of a thread have to do with your stupidity?

Last week = Whining that Bush won't help Haiti because there is no oil there.
Today = Whining that Bush will send troops because he's trying to take over the world.
Next week = New country, same scenario.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

Random points:
-So you're blaming us for interviening back then, and blaming us for not doing anything now? Ha!
-Call me crazy, but wasn't CLINTON in charge of shit back in the day!?! Hey, forget all that... Blame Bush! It's his bad!
-Where is France in this situation and how come you're not on their case?

1492
Christopher Columbus lands on the island that became known as Hispaniola. It was originally inhabited by the Taino-Arawak Indians, who referred to their home as "Hayti" or mountainous land.

1697
Spanish control over the colony ends with the Treaty of Ryswick, which divides the island into French-controlled St. Domingue and Spanish Santo Domingo. The island is prized by the European powers for its natural resources, including cocoa, cotton and sugar cane and the French ship in thousands of slaves, mainly from West Africa, to harvest the crops.

1804
After a slave rebellion led by a Jamaican-born Boukman in 1791, Haiti becomes the first black independent state under General Jean-Jacques Dessalines, who declares himself emperor.

1844
After three decades of strife and multiple rulers, the island splits into two nations, Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

1862
After decades of delay, fearing that it would inspire its own slaves, the United States grants Haiti diplomatic recognition. In 1889, noted abolitionist Frederick Douglass becomes the U.S. Consul-General.

1915
U.S. Marines occupy Haiti to calm a state of anarchy. The Americans improve the infrastructure while helping to create the Haitian armed forces.

1934
The United States pulls out of Haiti. But the nation remains torn by tension between the wealthier French-speaking mulatto minority and the overwhelming majority of impoverished black Creole speakers.  

1957
Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier becomes leader, declaring himself president for life in 1964 and ruling through terror perpetrated by his notorious street gangs known as the "Tontons Macoutes."  
 
1971
Jean-Claude Duvalier, known as "Baby Doc" becomes president at the age of 19, succeeding his father who dies in office.

1986
As anti-government protests gather steam, the United States arranges exile in France for "Baby Doc" and his family. He is succeeded by General Henri Namphy.

1990
A charismatic priest from the slums, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, wins a U.N.-organized presidential election, gaining more than 67 percent of the vote.

1991
Aristide is ousted in a military coup and is forced to seek exile in the United States. The coup sparks a mass exodus with more than 40,000 Haitians rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard during a 12-month period.
 
1994
After several abortive efforts to restore democracy, the United States leads an international force into Haiti, forcing the military rulers to step down. A month later, Aristide returns as president to Port-au-Prince.
 
1996
Rene Preval becomes president as Aristide is precluded by the Constitution from succeeding himself.

2000
Municipal and legislative elections end in disarray because of a flawed vote count, alleged irregularities and fraud charges. The controversy triggers a boycott of the presidential elections later that year, won by Aristide.

2004
The crisis sparked by the allegedly fraudulent election deepens amid a failure of international mediation efforts, a foundering economy and growing political violence. A few weeks after the nation celebrates its 200th anniversary in January, a rebel movement seizes control of a number of towns in an uprising that poses a formidable threat to the Aristide government.
