It's quite striking that the arguments being made for a U.S. intervention in Haiti are so alike the ones that were used to justify the 1915-34 occupation. It's not just the bit about restoring order and stability after the murder of the president, though there is that.

It's also the wider basis for intervention, which sound verbatim from the occupation period.
