Yes, Canada did it, The US did it, Australia and New Zealand did it.
Your missing my point, I know it‘s been done. The point is, in todays society (not a hundred or two hundred years ago) are we willing to watch a country go through the same growing pains we went through? Are you prepared to watch a dozen more Rwanda‘s on the six o‘clock news just so fifty years down the road these people will finally figure it out?Originally posted by The_Falcon:

How come they have been at it for 100 years longer than us, but they still can‘t figure it out?Yes maybe what I am proposing is to let them sort out democracy for themselves.
I know someone who‘s trying to make a big difference and has even gone to Haiti in all this. Her name is Esther Pauls and she owns 2 stores called the Runner‘s Den here in Hamilton. Each year she holds the Race For Haiti. All the money that is earned goes right to Haiti, and is used for building orphanages, schools and playgrounds and also used to feed the hungry and shelter those out on the streets.Originally posted by Enzo:
[qb] The actual question is, who would you send?? [/qb]
If there were to be any international force sent down there, right now Canada would be the last place I would go looking for any long term commitment of troops. That really isn‘t the issue.Originally posted by The_Falcon:
[qb] Yes, as mentioned, we have been their twice already, and they still have problems. They need to sort themselves out before he can help them. Unless you want to commit to staying their for 10-20 years, with some magical troops you just dreamed up, cause we don‘t have the resources to send any significant type of force. [/qb]
Perhaps it‘s exactly those growing pains that countries must go through to develop stable governments. I think at this point, the best solution would be to step back and let them deal with their own business without outside interference.Originally posted by gate_guard:

Gate Guard,yes we have corruption that we see and don‘t even see!!Originally posted by gate_guard:
[qb] Sapper Earl,
If it was that easy to get rid of corruption, how come we let so many of our politicians abuse the system? Explain why organized crime is still prevalent in our "civilized" society? We‘ve been deployed in the Former Yugo for well over a decade and the mafia still runs things over there. If you can show me a foolproof way of ridding the world of corruption, while keeping some semblence of freedom, I‘m all for it. Your intent is noble, however, the application of it isn‘t so easy.
