Seems old Fidel hasn't heard of US aid agencies called INVAID or as we call it invade. But maybe it could all be a radio dropout 'in, aid quick' turning into 'invade quick' When you're all set up to invade sovereign countries and you do it on a regular basis, then the mistake is easy to understand. Give the US a break, they usually give every one else one, broken skull, broken bones, broken families, broken countries..... US invasion, I would haiti to have one done to me.

We sent supplies and curved civil unrest so that your doctors could do something besides count bodies.

Couldn't agree more said the same thing last week to my husband - yes send aid - but troops? and so many!?!

Fidel is a wise statesman. He knows that the United States has never ever cared about black/brown people. Haiti will be colonised now because the U. S needs to use it to procure international money for its ever expanding war industry including Blackwater mercenaries. There is no effective UN to say no to U.S imperialism but the U.S empire is in its last leg. it is a dying empire. The U.S empire has never cared about humanity.U.SAID is an extension of U.S empire. This sign brings death and hunger. Just look at Somalia.

While the whole World is mourning the casualties of Haiti earth quick the US and its allies are dancing over their graves by invading the country in the midst of a disaster. People are saying Iraq invasion was illegal, but many are saying now “you haven’t seen nothing yet”. Invading the country while its population is dying under the rubbles of collapsed building, man, that’s something which only pure evil is capable of. The young man which was found alive 12 days buried under the rubbles had no idea that he will be fighting an independence war soon with many more survivors compatriots against the HUMANITARIAN OCCUPIERS. What a cynical irony—we will save you but will enslave you.

I do have my doubts about the US forces now stationed in Haiti, but the country obviously needs help with the civil unrest. It would however have been better with a stronger UN force with soldiers from all over the world, rather than 10k from the US. Guess it is quite an amount of oil in the haitian coastal territories of the mexican gulf^^

Ohhh... Crazy dictators, don't you just have to love them?

Oil.

Who awakened Fidel. Chavez is the big talker now. Castro can go back to sleep.

What credibility does UN have? One would never know if Castro asked for this or it's media's own news.

The Pesident of Haiti asked for the assistance. Only the US military can respond in such a short time as it would take weeks/months to organize a UN force. There is nothing in Haiti that the US government wants, or that anyone wants, thus their poverty....

ericpiety ,The President of Haiti asked for U.S. troops, what a joke ! this guy was put in place after the legitimate President was ousted “Aristi” that was sent packing to Africa by U.S. forces, this is just another maneuver to show who is the boss in the world. You ask for medicine will take our guns. I notice the U.S. soldiers on the ground yelling at everybody (in English) giving orders. They forget that people speak other languages. I think they did the same thing in Iraq ! Hey will hire Clinton & Bush Jr. for some PR work. (Obama at work) This is so comical if it weren’t a tragedy.

I find it interesting that only Fidel Castro and Chavez are going to the heart of the problem in Haiti, which is their independence. Of course, these days, achieving independence anywhere is a pipe dream. Apparently, you can achieve and end to blatant, open, cruel forms of deamonization like Apartied, but not economically, not where it really counts. Frankly, since the theoreticians of the "ownership society" are hard at it, I fully expect them to institute slavery if they can get away with it. Afterall, if eveyrthing is better when someone owns it, then people are better when owned by "upright, rich, nice people" as well. And we all remember just how happy the slaves were at being owned by someone and how kind the slave masters were to their precious property!

The americans have occupied Haiti with so many soldiers and so hurryly, because they are afraid that someone else could be the same thing.

I think America understood the need for control hence using troops on the ground to help with food distribution and medical care. But, I did notice on most news channels the unfair absence of news regarding the good work Cuba was doing for Haiti, with doctors and medical care, one would think that only the USA was helping the victims of the disaster when in fact Cuba was on the ground first. Too bad Cuba and the USA couldn't get along, we kiss China's ass, who have more human rights violation than Cuba, but then Cuba is only a weak country and we can easily bully them.

It is very funny but sad to notice that nobody seem to understand the strategical importance (effectiveness rather) of Haiti's location..... While some even show great ignorance by defending this 'move' by the US 'Government', others are still strugling to see why. I hear arguments like 'oil', 'resources', etc. None of that .... If you follow the news and situations on Venezuela and it's neigbouring countries, you will understand how having Haiti, as another satellite in that area, will make certain new situations there much easier. Think, for example, of the death of mister Castro in Cuba. Did you really think this would go simply unnoticed? That nothing will happen on the background besides what you see on (mainstream) media? How about any direct or in-direct millitary conflict with Venezuela, with Mr. Chavez being head of state..... Sorry, lets get back to reality now. Let's watch some television. Aawww look at these sad hungry people from Haiti... But thank god, there are the Americans! even a lot of soldiers! God bless..... Regards, Sebastiaan

What we need now in Haiti ,is to have back our gold reserve and all the money that the USA has taken from that country when they have occupied it in 1915. Since, they have distroyed everything to sell their products.Their last one was the PIGS.The ''HELP" they give is administration for themselves and products bought from the USA.We have thousands of ONG in Haiti,they have been there for many years if they were helping,that country won't still be the second poorest country.Please now give us a BREAK.
