Haitians do NOT need more soldiers

Mass media report that there are security issues in Haiti. Even the UN says that it first has to guarantee security before they can provide relief efforts in the country. The US military has taken over the airport and redirects flights (i.e. an airplane by doctors without borders) based on some flimsy excuses.

The situation is quite different from what you read and hear in the mass media. People in Haiti are desperate but there is NO violence – there is NO security threat. Don’t rely on our mass media, listen to journalists who are in Haiti and actually speak to Haitians instead of accepting government propaganda as the truth:

It should be noted that among the first countries that provided help was Cuba and the Dominican Republic – NOT the US. In fact the US is more of a hindrance than help – it kind of makes sense – soldiers are not doctors, nor are they relief workers. So how can such a large regiment of soldiers in Haiti be of any help for the people?
