I wonder where you received that information and if you have ever been to Port au Prince? It has always been a violent city with many tensions, especially towards Americans. Do you know how many Americans have been killed in the capital or kidnapped since the earthquake? Taking the U.N. out would be a death sentence for the relief workers.
-and yes, I have been to Haiti and am going back soon.
