Do you think it's cute to refer to yourself in the third person? Address the criticism clown. Explain how we are going to recruit Haitians when the overwhelming majority of them don't even speak English. Explain what possible use we could have for a military base there, which would justify the expenditure.
Idiot.
Why would you care if I think my writing in the third person is "cute"? I write in the third person, because it sounds nicer to my ears. You make reference to me in ad-hominems; do I care why you do that? Nyet!
Yes, we need a base in that neck of the woods, since there are early rumblings of anti-Americanism in the Southern Hemisphere. And, similar to the Philippines, with time people learn English.
We need bases all over the world, since communism is an idea that did not die with the demise of the Soviet Union. Any country where there are people with the desire to have a new government has the potential to go communist, since communism does not need a functioning economy to be over a country.
But, since you do not believe that the U.S.A. could use a military base in Haiti, I must be wrong, even though it would be nice to have a substitute for our base in Cuba, since one never knows when one might have to leave an existing base. So, I defer to your always being right. [Foofie bows deeply to Setanta in a most earnest deferential manner, while muttering the famous cutsie remark used by Setanta, "goys and birls."]
