My TV over here picks up channels from all over the world, many of which also have English versions. The foreign media is starting to report the US is starting to cause problems, turning away planes with the proper aid for no reasons given, that the US is pressuring some Haitian leaders to step down, give up power, and get out of the way even though the Haitian officials object. They are also reporting that we are storming in there with a war like attitude, guns drawn in places with no violence, and treating it more like a war rather than relief. I was quite surprised to see several stories like this today.
Who knows the real story, it's just interesting to see a point of view that the American media doesn't show. I know good is being done so I'm not hating, I'm just sharing another side of the coin. I think the US should be there helping, though I don't agree with taking control of the airport, and our troops will come in handy to keep the locals from murdering each other and turning into animals. I only fear if something happens and heaven forbid we have to shoot a few Haitians that the shit doesn't hit the fan. Like Africans, these people can be savages, and pushed to the point of survive or die, they are capable of anything.
