“I want the Americans to take over the country. The Haitian government can’t do anything for us,” said Jean-Louis Geffrard, a laborer who lives under a tarp in the crowded square. "When we tell the government we’re hungry, the government says, ‘We’re hungry, too.’ "
Added Canga Matthieu, a medical student whose school was destroyed: “The American government should take care of us.”
“They’re well organized. The United States is the richest country in the world, and they can help.”
Our government seems hell bent on heading in the direction of the Hatian government, so I don’t think a US takeover of Hati is going to work out like they think it will.
Meanwhile, various world leaders bitch about how imperialist Americans have occupied Haiti and sent troops there to impose their evil fascist capitalism on the poor earthquake victims…
