Description

Now that the armed forces of The US have entered Haiti, what’s the exit strategy? As The US, the government of Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and the United Nations coalition establish order, it’s best to remember of the tasks ahead: building a new authority system in accordance with the rule of law, instilling respect for human rights, and developing those values common to democratic communities world wide. The two keys to the success of this strategy will be how Haiti handles the amnesty question and what sort of judicial and police system is developed. The US will have to not allow its exit strategy to be decided by the success or failure of the above. In this paper, Professor Gabriel Marcella of the U.S. Army War College proposes an interlocking strategy that emphasizes the achievement of limited objectives by The US. He contends that our strategy will have to emphasize the humanitarian dimensions of our assistance quite than pursue the open-ended goal of the restoration of democracy. Such an approach provides The US greater hope for success and the probability of a dignified exit.
