This article was written in OCTOBER 13, 2009 but definitely helps set the perspective of the earthquake in haiti and obvious US military intervention

"About 20,000 U.S. troops are expected to support relief efforts in Haiti by next week in addition to the 13,000 American military personnel already there, according to Pentagon spokesman John Kruzel." http://www.therealitycheck.org/?p=10657

In case you forgot Jean-Bertrand Aristide was forcibly exiled from Haiti and taken to South Africa.
