So with all the doin's a-transpiring down in Haiti (and nigh every third 'third world' nation), I'm wondering when the internat community is going to to try to do anything, or even if they will. Will it turn out that they'll try to let it burn out, if'n the case that they think it's the proverbial third world brush fire (aka civil war)? Or would they mayhaps try to step in like that one Lemming from the old puzzle game, suicidally smack in the middle with both hands raised - after all, they could take the opportunity to show the US the proper way to intervene in a chaotic downward spiral. I mean, this isn't to lay claim as to whether the US has done anything right or wrong in the past in that regard (he said sardonically), but to provoke interest in what happens next. I'll lay money that the US won't do anything, we've been overstretched for an overstretched amount of time - but will anyone else help the island that can't help itself?
