I agree it's bad if the world depends on the largesse of its highest elites. But we can turn the article's logic on us too. What if we US citizens bear some responsibility for Haiti's suffering, because our elites/government attack and overthrow every attempt they make to solve their own problems? Fortunately, all we need is to accept the simplest moral "innovation". Get off their backs; and if we're particularly noble, pay reparations. (Just as we'd hope a future China did if they successfully dominated us and turned us into a basketcase.) If anyone's understandably skeptical, simply look to opposition/dissident media. Because it's rational to seriously consider the possibility that an attacking country's media may be a component in those attacks. In the US, Democracy Now and Noam Chomsky are reasonable sources, which you can then fact-check to your heart's content.
