Oh, heck, I'm a history buff. My 'cops of the world' statement was rhetorical. However, the US is not alone in the pre-emptive policy stuff. They just have the hammer now. In the past it's been lots of others. That is a way-long list. Haiti has had such a mess for so many years, it seems they get puppets in and out like no tomorrow. As you pointed out above. I hear you. BM
