Its hard to speculate what is happening in Haiti, rioting in the street, people shot by the United Nations, Cholera killing over a 1,000 people.
At the least another United Nations failure, another Obama failure, this country is at our doorstep. The United Nations should not even be in Haiti. But everybody wants the United Nations to be the world government and all the United Nations does is prove its an inept concept.

Rioters attack UN peacekeepers in Haiti

Rioters attacked United Nations peacekeepers as civil unrest continued in Haiti on Tuesday, paralysing attempts by aid agencies to control a cholera epidemic that has now reached every province in the country.
Although many Haitians blame Nepalese troops with the UN for bringing cholera to the earthquake-ravaged country, with at least 1,000 killed by the disease so far, the UN says rioting may be politically motivated. Presidential elections are due on November 28.

The way in which the events unfolded leads to the belief that the incidents had a political motivation, aimed at creating a climate of insecurity on the eve of the elections, said a statement released on Tuesday by the UN mission in Haiti, known as Minustah.
Minustah calls on the population to remain vigilant and not let itself be manipulated by the enemies of stability and democracy in the country, it added.
There was turmoil on Monday in two cities in the north of Haiti, Cap-Haitien and Hinche, with protesters setting cars and a police station on fire, as well as throwing rocks and bottles at UN troops. One protester was shot to death by a UN soldier.
