I know how you feel, exactly. I remember when they(the haitians) chased us out of Port-Au-Prince with pitchforks and shovels,and AK's....but, geographically we have no choice in this one. I mean even China sent a delegation. I am sure most American people have no problem helping, and using our troops to do so, a population so devastated as this one is. You have to acknowledge that these people had nothing to begin with. I think it is a shame that such a third world existence even is possible in this hemisphere. We had no other option in this one. However, and I said this to my wife the other night, OBAMA may try to grant immunity to all Haitians living in this country and even bring some more over here and grant them emergency citizenship siting that "Their nation is too dangerous, etc..." and sure enough, that kind of rumbling has already been heard from 1600. That is another way the Dems can increase the number of "american"people who 'owe' them something...building their voting base is always on the minds of people like Rahm emmanuel, and this tragedy will not be wasted on simply relief.graybeard321 wrote:I guess my post will upset a lot of people, But I believe it is time for the good old USA to stop being big brother to the world.

Hope you get your primary fixed.

Excellent point. I guess they dont have guns down there so they probably wont confiscate those. I wonder what they will do about machetes or other weapons.GS78 wrote:you know, this disaster in Haiti can easily be used as "training" in that it will soon become the largest example of civil unrest in history.Watch how the US government reacts closely.
