> What if we US citizens bear some responsibility for Haiti's suffering We do, I think. Write the history book of today that someone might read (probably through a brain interface) in a thousand years. The story of the US isn't one to cast a positive light on. The 500 year legacy of imperialism is that empires conquered the world and intentionally kept vast swathes of it in perpetual turmoil for selfish goals. Every time the US conquered a country, be it by proxy in Iran in the 70s or directly like in Iraq, the legacy will be the US getting in the way of the people of foreign countries dictating their own destinies. And that is something we need to hold ourselves accountable for.
