  Because everyone likes to hate on the USA until they need them.
  And no, I'm not American.
context: TIL Jamaica had a military >
  
  I was in montego bay and passed a truck full of jamaican military. 
  They mostly do disaster relief and counter terrorism. >
  
  I need some of Dudu’s coke >
  
  Haitians might prefer the gangs to the UN because the UN doesn’t have a great track record in Haiti. Read about it and you’ll understand >
  
  I’ll understand? You just were whooshed by a very simple joke… >
  
  I responded to the wrong person lol. I think I meant to respond to you by saying 'all the coke in my town is already doo-do' >
  
  Ok that makes sense, I was wondering how that could possibly go over anyone’s head lol. But for real, any blow makes me go Dudu so I’m not a fan of the diarrhea powder >
  
  No offense to Jamaica, but I hope they will not try to tackle it alone. Maybe a coalition of neighboring countries? >
  
  I suspect Canada will get involved. We have deep cultural ties to Haiti and we've basically been helping Haiti for the last 30 years. >
  
  Is Canada open to leading a coalition with Jamaica, etc.? >
  
  Our current leadership is very indecisive in terms of peacekeeping missions and military involvement.  I think it's more likely they'll wait for someone else to take the lead (like the UN). >
  
  Hmm... Well, then Haiti has to wait... >
  
  I'm sure that will turn out well. US is over here chainsmoking in the corner like, 'Good luck with that, these things always work out well'. >
  
  This type of international collaboration is what's needed to combat organized crime. >
  
  Haiti is a lost cause. They offer nothing to the world but poverty, there is no incentive for anyone to ruin their own reputation and send their own soldiers home in caskets to try and remove shit out of a sewer. And they will just get mad at whoever comes to try and help them, not to mention the problems with foreign soldiers bringing rape and disease. Haitians just need to find an equilibrium state with their gangs, because sending them money so it can be stolen is not in the interest in anyone outside of Haiti. >
  
  It's a lose lose for the US. We intervene its "American imperialism!!!" We don't intervene it's "America doesn't care about poor people, black people etc"  given that the US is going to get blamed regardless I vote for the solution that doesn't involve throwing more tax dollars into a money pit like Hati. >
  
  If Afghanistan is any indication, we are terrible at nation building a broken nation...and most likely will make the situation worse 
  The USA should stay out. >
  
  What makes you think Haiti is comparable to Afghanistan?
  It's not like intervention has never worked, Kosovo, the first Gulf War, and Bosnia are examples of very successful US-led interventions. >
  
  Your examples were direct military action to end a war between nations/ethnic groups.  
  That isn't the situation in Haiti at all. >
  
  This would also be direct military intervention, just obviously not on the same scale.
  Also that would still make it completely different from Afghanistan. >
  
  Direct military intervention for who exactly?  Haiti doesn't have a functional government. >
  
  What's going on over there? >
  
  Massive Gang violence, protests, general civil unrest, outbreak of cholera, fuel shortages, clean drinking water shortages. 
  Dominican Republic described it as a low intensity civil war >
  
  I wonder why DR hasn’t invaded Haiti, considering they’re right next door
