Haiti: An Unwelcome Katrina Redux

19 January 2010
George W. Bush, massive military deployment, logistical snags and slow aid delivery are evocative of the Hurricane Katrina debacle. Cynthia McKinney draws attention to the construction of the U.S. fifth-largest embassy in the world in Port-au-Prince, the discovery of oil resources in Haiti, the existence of decade-old plans to exploit Haiti’s deep water ports for oil-related activities. From the beginning, in fact, U.S. assistance to Haiti has looked more like an invasion than a humanitarian relief operation.
