So. for all practical purposes. whether we like it or not. the United States is technically at war with Haiti. But the President has yet to explain what United States interests may be in Haiti that are worth risking the life of even one American soldier or one American sailor. In my judgment. the United States only interest in Haiti is to stem the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States. But the United States Government has established offices throughout Haiti to process Haitians requests to emigrate and the procedure is working satisfactorily. I am informed. Most important. the majority of these refugees are leaving Haiti for economic reasons. not political. If they were political refugees. they would simply walk across the border to the Dominican Republic and. so far as I know. few are doing that. So it appears that the President. under the auspices of the United Nationsand this frightens me. anything under the auspices of the United Nations frightens me these daysthe President and the United Nations obviously wish to remake Haiti in the image of the United States. But this should never be United States policy in any country. as to any country. certainly not in Haiti and certainly not with President Aristide installed by use of United States military force.
