I think that as a base is valuable, but there are other options, as the big Guantanamo base in Cuba.
But forgiving those considerations (sound stupid to even think on them in this moment), Haiti is a country in total collapse. Political, economic and social. Death toll can be as big as 100.000 people, and all major buildings, hospitals, services and infraestructure are in ruins. Even if international aid is generous, it might took DECADES to recover from this disaster and give haitians a hope.
Ruben, my closest friend is a Dominican who transits back and forth 4-5 times a year and spends 4-6 weeks there in the winter. and maintains close contact with the people and the culture. He informs me that the Dominican side of the island is gravely concerned because of the frequent small plane flights and drops into Haiti. I certainly wish the best for the Haitians. It is my understanding that US interests would like to bring their usual form of purposeful chaos to the region in order to de-stabilize it. I have also read about HAARP. It is my understanding that a major effort is already underway to extend "the empire" incrementally; forays have been made via air into Venezuela already, if you believe the Venezuelans, and Colombia and the isthmus have been a focal point for some time. As has been discussed elsewhere, "relief" operations often mask other purposes. I appreciate that Gitmo is nearby as well, though it is presently tasked for other purposes and also under some political pressure from the Cubans. Having published a paper on community disaster response through the International Association of Emergency Managers, I appreciate what the nation and its people are up against. I send them my prayers. Wclef Jean is heading up an effort (google it up, it involves Twitter) and he is working overtime to help his people in "staying alive": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPV1InMNUf4
But still don't understand.... Why a plane will drop drugs in to Haitian territory ...?... Maybe there are some (few) rich haitian people who can consume, but I still don't think too many haitians can buy expensive drugs as cocaine (there are cheaper ones).
Haiti may be good for traffikkers as a stop in the way to richer countries, if they can find the way to reach them. If a traffikker can sell cocaine at $ 10.000 in USA or $. 5.000 in Mexico, why sell it for $ 1.000 in Haiti..?.
As far I know, thats why it may be not difficult to trafikker to reach Haiti in the so called eastern traffikkers route, but problem for them begin northern Cuba and west-near Mexico. Those areas are under heavy surveilance.
I don't know what other intentions can have the americans helping Haiti. They have come to my country as well, and the only thing I can say about them is that they use this situations to TRAIN their newbie doctors and personnel in real environment, evaluating failures in equipment, procedures, personnel and deployment. In Haiti situation, I think ANY help is welcome, even newbie's.
I don't think that evrything USA does carry dark evil intentions. There are good people evrywhere, you know. Even in the USA.
Lets pray for Haiti and his people, and hope they can have all the help they need and more.
