<< Come off it, Kathy.  LOL, ROTFL etc.  Never mind about the Nazis, an
 invasion is when a bunch of people burst into your country, home or
 whatever without invitation.  The generals were threatened and forced to
 issue an invitation to the US military, so it wasn't a proper invitation.>>

RIGHT!   But the Multi-National Forces were INVITED TO COME TO HAITI BY THE 
LEGITIMATE GOVERNMENT OF HAITI.  Not by "the generals", who since they had 
already mutinied against the Chief of State weren't even legitimate generals 
anymore, and who as members of the *military* had no *executive* or 
*legislative* role anyway.  LOL!

  << A couple of months earlier, the US obtained a mandate from the US 
Security
 Council to invade Haiti.>>

The United Nations *intervened* in Haiti at the request of the elected 
government of Haiti.

<< The "Togolais and Bangladeshis and Italians and Nigerians" came afterwards
 as window-dressing, a routine trick by any serious imperialist nation.>>

Not so at all.  The members of other nationalities outnumbered Americans in 
the UN Mission to Haiti, and their contributions were much more than "window 
dressing".

Peace and love,
