   In February 2004, American aircraft landed in Port-au-Prince and, by morning, Haiti’s elected president Jean-Bertrand Aristide was gone. Haiti isn’t an exception. It’s part of a longer history of the U.S. removing democratically elected governments when they conflict with U.S. strategic or economic interests.

     @Deglassco yeah we have really abused our 'worlds police' role havent we. Falls right in line with the abuse of power you can see front and center and with lots of $#$%^$ words you see on display today.

     The more people desire power, the more likely they are to abuse it. We need a metric so only people that only sort of care about power not the alpha male greedy gimmegimme fuck you people bastards we have now.
     its public SERVICE not the public services you, douchebags.
