America cant stop people fighting, it can just defeat one side or the other. If they throw Aristotle out, his people will become the new rebels, if they help him put the rebels down, it wont stop the civil war, it will just create more hatrid of Aristotle.
Peacekeeping is a great idea, but I dont see how you can stop people from fighting when they are determined to do it. The way to help Haiti is through aid and helping ease the terrible poverty there, and in fairness, there are many American missionaries there trying to do that.
All America can really do is not sell these people weapons, but even that doesnt help, because the Russians sell weapons to anyone anyway.

Well then will the violence stop in Iraq? If we are willing to help Iraq, then don't we have to help other countries as well or do we just pick and choose as to where the money and the best investments will be???
