US State Department orders departure of non-emergency personnel from Haiti | CNN Politics
The US State Department on Thursday ordered the departure of non-emergency personnel from Haiti as the security situation in the country deteriorates.
Expected responses:
I mean, yeah.
The west did too much evil and not enough good, that’s how that works sometimes.
I don't think Haiti can be just blamed on the West. The stablest it's been during its entire history was when it was a French colony with monstrous slavery practices and when it was under American occupation. For a decade or two, they got some decent leaders, but since then, it's been several decades of robbers and despots, all pulled from the people of Haiti, none of whom were Western puppets.
Oh, sure, if the US and France had treated Haiti better, that would have helped. But the West didn't cause the current problems of Haiti. They're domestic.
No matter how much aid is pumped into Haiti, you can't solve the problem of a country which has degenerated so far that it is essentially a nation of gangs and bandits.
I've asked Haitian emigres about it. They don't have hope. What they've told me is that there isn't any hope, that the country is doomed and hardly even a country any more.
I don't know what the solution is, if there even is one.
We need the Goldilocks zone of doing just enough.
