Haiti's chaos turns troops into cops
As U.S. troops arrive in Haiti, they will be forced to become the only police force in the chaotic country. The troops are being sent to perform a rescue mission, but given the present state of affairs, they will have to establish law and order before any major aid initiative can take place. With 4,000 hardened criminals roaming the city streets looking for targets to rob and rape, the situation is getting much worse by the minute. Now armed with machetes and other weapons, the inmates escaped when the local prison collapsed during the earthquake. With the local police nowhere to be seen, the devastated city of Port-au-Prince has become theirs for the moment. Facing a difficult distribution of food and water, many of the relief agencies now in the city had to retreat to safe places to escape the violence. There have been reports of famished residents throwing stones at those who are trying to help them. As in New Orleans, the desperation level is now finding an outlet in violent and criminal behavior. U.S. troops will now be forced to conduct a "compassionate invasion" to establish some kind of order until the local police and Haitian government can gain control The goodwill of the American people will be tested as the months go by, and many will begin to wonder why the U.S. has to be the policeman and benefactor of the entire world. During the last 70 years, the U.S. and the United Nations have given billions of dollars in Haiti, and it all has been to no avail. Without a decent government and an economic base, that country cannot survive. In the meantime, we have 30,000 Haitian criminals in U.S. prisons waiting to be deported. What shall we do with them?

is Cuba, with the elite at the top and everyone else sharing the leftovers. Curiously, that vision was repudiated yesterday in MA. Conservatives want a constitutionally controlled government, liberals just want government control. Socialism by any other name, is still socialism.
As I am, I would like to voice that nature keeps populations of humans and animals in check. Unfortunately the quake killed many innocents instead of the 4,000 hardened criminals that are roaming the streets.
Conservatives ask everyone to stand on their own two feet to build an America with a bigger and better future. If we continue to elect leftists like Obama, Reid and Pelosi, the USA will soon look like Haiti, one giant, broken nanny state with enless poverty, corruption and thuggish politics. Those Haitians who have left to build a new life in the USA have proved to be hard-working citizens; they escaped the cycle of poverty liberals would create here.
If the conservatives had their way, America would look like Haiti, with a very small elite on top and massive numbers of impoverished people, and a govt. that could do very, very little. If by chance, someone got elected that might do anything, that candidate can always be exiled. Come a disaster, and everything would quickly fall apart. Of course, the masses would take the edge off their hard, bitter lives by believing in God, guns, or a combination like that.
