Since this was written, it has become clearer that aid to Haitian people is only a secondary by-product of the US troops’ presence there. As al-Jazeera reported: “People could see helicopters flying overhead, US military vehicles in the city and aeroplanes arriving at the airport with supplies, so it was difficult to understand why little aid appeared to be reaching the people, she said.” An entire mobile medical hospital of Doctors Without Borders was refused landing rights by US troops at Port Au Prince airport.

The rescue effort is really all about rescuing Haitian capitalism, ensuring that private property rights and political stability are maintained.
