Haiti: standard UN operation

Via Activist Post, I come across this interesting article on the UN military occupation of Haiti, which has overstayed its welcome to say the least.

Wherever they go, UN troops seem to alienate the locals. In the case of Haiti, causing an outbreak of cholera by dumping raw sewage in a river, shooting people and raping people (in other words, the usual MO) has not helped.

I'm guessing that whenever they do leave, however many billions of dollars they've managed to burn through, Haiti will look much the same.
