I would support a military invasion and annexation of Haiti, including the eventual granting of full statehood, if the Haitian people voted for such.
It will never happen in 10 million years. When the last pretty American leaves there Haiti will be the same toilet then as it was before the first pretty American landed there to "help."
(I could not help but roll my eyes at the story of Royal Caribbean passengers frolicking on the beach just kilometers from the carnage.)

I'm saying let's help the little crack babies in Camden and Detroit and Philly before we go overseas looking to spend our money, especially on a flat out band aid solution, which is all the US (or any other nation) is going to apply.
We have plenty of poverty, squalor and decay here too.
