As a veteran of the US military, I can honestly state that the intentions of the US are nothing less than to establish peace, organize recovery, and rebuild the government as needed to prolong peace.

Haiti was a desperate hell hole BEFORE this earthquake. Rife with poverty and crime filled with corruption, how else will order be maintained during this crisis?
