Episode 154: Haiti - Neighbor in Crisis

Today, Les, Jess, and Jamil discuss the unfolding humanitarian crisis in Haiti. Violent gangs are sweeping the country of 11.54 million people and there are calls for a potential U.S. lead peacekeeping efforts.

Why does Haiti matter to U.S. national security? Should the U.S. let Canada take the lead in directing a multinational force to support the Haitian government? Can we expect different results if the U.S. intervenes compared to previous U.S. led operations in Haiti?

Hear our experts debate these issues and more in our latest Fault Lines!

Also a reminder, this is the last episode of Fault Lines for this week as the team takes a break to enjoy Thanksgiving. We hope you all do as well!
