The US should stay in Haiti for as long as it takes

President Obama has organised a massive military response to the earthquake which ravaged Haiti, involving ships, helicopters, transport planes and an initial contingent of 2,000 marines. Other military forces are on alert. If this, as many suspect, leads to some form of American occupation, albeit temporary, should it be welcomed, or will it just add to the long list of disastrous foreign interventions (see background), that have pockmarked Haiti’s troubled history?
