Comment on lawlessness: Haiti had problems in the past, but have never been truly lawless. They have teetered on the brink of lawlessness for a long time, but have maintained a semblance of order. I could walk the streets of Haiti without fear. They had a 4000 man police force in Port-Au-Prince, trained by RCMP among others. The current situation could fall into lawlessness easily since the police force is now only 1500 in Port-Au-Prince and people are very desperate. There is a need for international security forces to help maintain order. Likely with need to stay for a few years to allow the national police force to stabalize, recruit and train. Not truly lawless like other nations previously mentioned, but at risk of becoming lawless.
