Current affairs in Haïti, and democracy in Iraq
The United States says it expects a lengthy military occupation following its victory. US generals will be in charge of setting up democracy in Iraq.
Will this be a democracy like in Haiti, the Dominican Republic or Nicaragua? They occupied Haiti for 19 years and set up a military power base that eventually became the dictatorship of Francois Duvalier. They occupied the Dominican Republic for nine years and laid the foundations for the dictatorship of Rafael Leonidas Trujillo. They occupied Nicaragua for 21 years and founded the dictatorship of the Somoza family.
