On the plus side, selling large amounts of weapons to Haitian toughs or the Dominican Republic will cause a huge political scandal for us, leading to record boosts in cable television as whoever does it gets fried for providing the weapons to thugs. Not to mention all the books made. That would have to do wonders for our economy.

Here's the best way to deal with the problem:

Have a cargo shipment full of guns and amo fly over Haiti. You know, on there way to to resuppy troops in Iraq or something. (or where-ever is near by and believeable)

Somehow, rebels or someone shots the planes down, or they have engine problems and land, and everyone ends up armed.

Let the Haitian idiots slaughter each other. The smart Haitians will stay the hell out of the way. No one survives, none of them are smart, so no loss there.

Then, when the Haitians get bitchy, you have a legit reason to send tanks to the Dominicon Republic, for there defense. It's not the governments fault the Dominicon's took out Haiti

We got good Machetes as is...

I just wanted to assure all the gentlemen in the thread that we Dominicans have very good machetes. :twisted:

Although I admit that even I am not sure what we would do with M1's. The way our government works, they would probably be given to the generals and their friends rather than the front lines. *shrugs* Last time I checked, our national airforce revolved aroun d P-51's and not that many of them.

They don't have much money to spend on guns. Instead lets use the time machine in Area 51 to send a message back in time and tell Roosevelt to fuck the good neighbor policy, thus keeping the Marines in country. Another decade or two of occupation might let the country develop into something, a peaceful shithole perhaps.

Yours appears to be. You didn't notice that I was being sarcastic in turn?

They can't use the time machine, they're too busy using it to steal Hitler's gold.
