Believe it or not, USA is not the root cause of every world problem.

But if it caused it it will be worth it, right?

In Haiti it was caused by the French, the US just made it worse. Like it does with the problem Britain and France created in the Middle East, and like it did in Vietnam which was also caused by the French. I see the West as one big club that the rest of the world needs to stand up to.

Maybe some of the root cause is closer to home. Or are they too brown to be in the wrong?

I’m glad we agree that this act is repugnant regardless of who does it.

I don't see any Haitians in those articles.

[–] PanArab 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But did you see them in the article I posted?

I'm confused. I thought we were discussing the failure of the Haitian state and the contribution to that failure of the Dominican Republic. What does any of that have to do with the United States?
