Barack Obama: Invading the sovereignty of a nation is a violation of international law that we don't tolerate. (This offer does not apply to airspace, including but not limited to, the airspace of Pakistan, Yemen or Afghanistan.) (This offer not valid in proxy conflicts such as those in Libya, Central African Republic, Syria and the Philippines.) (This offer not applicable after disasters like earthquakes, as in Hati.) (This offer not redeemable in carry-over wars from previous presidents and may lead to "surges.") Sovereignty isn't for everybody, ask your pundit if your borders are sacred enough to deserve sovereignty.

The US is also skilled in helping countries write their constitutions. And we don’t charge much either. For example, we only got Gitmo when we helped Cuba.

A Word to the Wise Guy: Better lay off the subtle satire for a while lest you end up like Howard W. Campbell Jr. in MOTHER NIGHT, by Kurt Vonnegut. You might become the spokesperson of some crackpot movement that believes what you’re saying and then acts accordingly. “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”

What the hell does Haiti have to do with this? We “invaded” and “droned” after their disaster? That’s a damn poor country, ruled forever by damn fascist style dictators, who allowed the people, because they wanted to keep them poor, to damn near defoliate their half of the island.The Dominican Republic wants nothing to do with Haiti.
