Reply #463: If by "protect American interests",

[ronnie624]

you mean forcefully opening Haiti to U.S. capital and foreign ownership of land, so Western corporation (U.S.) could profit from cash crops like rubber (playing a major role in the deforestation of Haiti), then I suppose you're right. But I'm not sure, because your message says very little.

My reply to the other poster was semi-sarcasm in response to the implication that the U.S. has no interest in the political and economic exploitation of Haiti. An examination of history, conclusively shows otherwise.

And stability in Haiti, I'm afraid, will never happen through invasion, dominance and exploitation. One can well imagine how the U.S. went about 'protecting its interests' and bringing 'stability' with the deep seated racial prejudices of that time. But one doesn't have to imagine, because it's well documented.
