Violence in Haiti reaching US audiences

After 11 days, the rebellion in Haiti is finally arriving in the US media. Seems that France might send in troops. The USA seems to be intent on not stating its position, which is probably just as well, given that the USA is primarily responsible for the mess that the country is in. After destroying the vestiges of an economy with the embargo, and putting a disliked man back in office with military force in 1994, it seems that the best position for the US to take would be to admit that we don’t know what’s best for the country. Sort of the least of the available evils that we can commit.

Meanwhile, Boston.com paints the leader of the rebellion as a drunken fool who is not really sure how he rose to this position. It really doesn’t seem like there’s any good solution to the problem.
