The mission was a total failure and the military came out looking like fools. We are in the same situation here in Haiti. The common excuse used by the elected officials in Washington now is people are dying and we as a nation should not stand around and not act on the inhumane conditions in this world. In a fact sheet sent out by the White House, President Clinton's agenda calls for the men and women in the United States to risk their lives because The Haitian people are suffering worsening privation and brutality at the hands of the military. Unless soon halted these abuses could drive large numbers of Haitians to risk the perils of the sea to try to reach our shores.
Death is natural.
Two hundred million people die every day in the world, but just because some people are dying because of poor living conditions, the United States should intervene to stop prevent their deaths, or at least postpone the deaths a few years. The liberals in Washington must get some kind of a high throwing money into a hole in the name of humanitarian causes. I, personally, do not see the point in acting as the world's sow with all of the other poor piglets sucking the country dry. My tax money can go to much better things than a bottomless pit of foreign aid to countries like Haiti. The military is like a fine tuned machine, much like a Ferrari, it is fine the way it is, do not try to refine it because what you will get is a lot of problems.
