Well, I'm not completely sold on the idea that homosexuality is completely by nature rather than by choice but this topic is about Haiti, not homosexuality, so lets get back on topic. We went in Hait because Aristide was overthrown before and we put him back in power. He is a largely incompetent leader and is suspected to have ties to drug trafficking. Not only that, he is the leader of a vastly corrupt and violent police force and military. Guy Phillipe used to be a police officer for Aristide but was driven out because he was suspected of having been the kingpin of a cocaine cartel. Phillipe got a couple hundred of people angry about the way the government was being led and attacked numerous cities. Even though the force was small and poorly armed it rolled over the almost non-exsistant Haitian military.
Basically, we're in there because we got Aristide democratically elected(yeah right, just like all the other Lavalas leaders were "elected." This is a peace-keeping mission and also a face-saving diversionary tactic akin to "wagging the dog." People are pissed off about the "war" in Iraq so Bush would rather have peoples attentions focused on a relatively legitimate Marine police-like task. It sure as hell isn't because Haiti is rich or sitting on a large sea of oil. Haiti is one of poorest countries and is lacking in many resources.
