Haiti would welcome US intervention, much like Liberia did. Political pressure for Aristide to step down and new elections to take place. Then send in peacekeepers to make sure that elections are fair. These are the only steps the US should take at this point.
As for Iraq, there will not be peace while US forces are there but after they leave they should have installed a basis for a Democracy. This will enable Iraqis to inherit a somewhat powerful government that can control the country and contain the interests of the people. Of course thats an optimist's point of view.
