One common pushback I get when talking to people about Haiti is something like:
Is your proposal for the world to not be involved and let Haiti sort itself out?
The very obvious answer there is "yes" but pushback to that is "what if the people of Haiti ask for help?" which is a question I don't have a great answer to. Obviously, if popular support is legitimate and not fabricated, is the answer that we should help them? Should other countries who don't have as disastorous of a record as the US help out?
And just to clarify another talking point, but the UN intervening is essentially the same thing as the US intervening, right? The latter is just a proxy for the former at this point, no?
Oh, no, I can't think of a reason to oppose non-military aid from Cuba. It's essentially between peers, inasmuch as countries can be peers, right?
