... after a hurricane in Haiti. Then, when the inevitable rioting and civil unrest breaks out, he sends in the military and squashes yet another revolution in the bud.
How many times in the last 50 years I've read similar news stories, involving third world countries with military dictatorships, I can't count.
We've become a banana republic with an oppressive regime that spends tax money on a big military instead of the public's welfare.
We've got "Baby Doc" Bush.
