As there hasn't been anything listed here, and the article seems NPOV to me, I am removing the disputed tag that was added on Nov. 20 M i c 06:33, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
It seems to me that the line about the "Occupation of Haiti" and "though these may have partially been under the UN banner the US was the prime mover" are as clearly POV as anything I've read. First, the assistance the united nations gave to the Haitian Government was not "partial", the United states was the largest force by far, but that changes nothing, the US made up the bulk of international forces in the Korean War, the Gulf War, The peacekeeping action in Bosnia, The Air war wirh Kosovo and the current NATO lead Afghan War, but that does not mean that these are not being lead by the UN and NATO, its a reasonable opinion that the country who sent over half of the force themselves is the nation that is in charge, but that's what it is, an opinion. Besides, the assistance we gave the Haitian Government in 94 and 2004 hardly meet common definitions of an Occupation considering the tiny size of the force we sent, the fact that we never had control over any facets of the government and didn't stay to actually you know, occupy the country. Also, its confusing to read such comparisons when the main article is on actual, lengthy occupations designed to protect US national interests in the country and region. If there is a real argument with me removing this portion refering to 94 and 2004 then please speak up, I will remove it tommorow.Colin 8 23:25, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Causes
"The instability in Haiti provided a potential opening for German influence during the ongoing World War I."
- LMAO* Now if this not the most absurd nonsense I ever read. Germany fighting a costly ground war thousands of miles away, it´s Navy locked up in the North Sea and Germany is to do what? Increase it´s influence in the oh so important island of Haiti. You got to be kidding! Markus Becker02 03:33, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject Mexico

[edit] Former country?
Why WikiProject Former Countries? Haiti still exists, last time I checked. Coemgenus 16:32, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
But the occupation does noty and the project also covers former regimes and their subdivisions. Dimadick (talk) 07:25, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
