So, an American newspaper writes about Haiti, including a few paragraphs about the historical context: the independence from France in 1803, the thirty years of the Duvalier dictatorship, etc. And they forgot to mention the 20 years of American occupation ! Would they write that Vietnam fought against the French occupation, then suffered under communist rule?
I don't expect a random American to know any of the various countries that the USA invaded and occupied, apart from Vietnam, but I sure expect a big newspaper to give this basic context.
