WTF are you on about? Haiti isn't a war. It's a failed state. The US is funding an effort to prevent this turning into (more of) a humanitarian disaster by trying to get a reasonable police force in to enforce some kind of order.

Also, they're arguably preventing the possibility of armed conflict with neighboring Dominican Republic, a reasonably well functioning county that nutjobs in Haiti might try stealing from. (I spent a week there recently, nice place if you like beaches)

Personally I think it'd be fine (and a lot cheaper) to just help the Dominican Republic defend their border better and let Haiti collapse and the people starve. But I'm not into warm and fuzzy humanitarian missions...

this territory is moderated

Technically a UN mission according to Brave search AI

Edit: but clearly USA is leading it

Good point. Makes it even less "US finding war".

This is the right move.

Protect DR. Destroy Haiti

Use napalm

The Clinton Foundation also played a role in Haiti. They even honeymooned there: https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-37826098

They stole all the money earmarked for rebuilding Haiti
