Last week we asked readers to express their views on whether the United States should intervene in Haitian affairs to support democratically elected government there.
\ Go in/get out
The United States should get into Haiti and get out within a short or reasonable length of time. The task of getting 12 nations to take over and let the U.S. role be a speedy entry and withdrawal will work!
If the final decision is to go in, many of us know the risks involved.
Democrats, Republicans and independents should get behind President Clinton with their prayers.

\ Stay out
We would be better off if we stayed out of Haiti and all other countries and let their peoples rule themselves as they always have done.
From what I've read about exiled President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, he's not the one to rule Haiti. Leave well enough alone.
What's Bill Clinton trying to do - rule the whole world? He can't even rule his own country, let alone others' countries.
