2. We are there to prevent a direct U.S. invasion.
3. If we leave, these blacks are going to kill each other.
4. Uruguay is acquiring better standing in the world with the
"peacemissions".
In a future series we will deal more thoroughly with these points.
Briefly our points of view are as follows:
1. The "peacekeeper" role has become the almost exclusive task of the
Uruguayan armed forces and a way to keep them hypertrophied,
parasitic, and useless for territorial defense.
2. The U.N. does not contain or resolve conflicts but is a globalized
world policeman serving the imperial order.
3. Haitians present is a new paradigm of recolonization.
4. Social democratic governments in Latin America meet the sad role of
easing the burden of "sepoy" military imperialism.
5. In Uruguay the "sepoy" is congenital to the country and its
bourgeoisie, and this also fits the current government policy of
ex-prisoners becoming jailers, extending the complicity of the past.
6. Nevertheless, the political decline of the current American and
Social "sepoy" imperial order on the one hand, and the resistance of the
Haitian people on the other, are causing a crisis in the
laboratory of neocolonial domination. There's a chance to reconnect the
links of solidarity between the peoples of our continent, beyond the
quarrels between the bourgeoisie pimps and governments.

Amidst tear gas, a young man carries stones during a protest in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, September 14, 2011.
Police in Haiti have clashed with hundreds of protesters demanding
United Nations troops leave the country after peacekeepers allegedly
sexually assaulted a young man.
Police in the capital city of Port-au-Prince fired tear gas to
disperse the demonstrators Wednesday, while some demonstrators threw
rocks at police.
The protest was sparked after a video taken on a cell phone showed
several Uruguayan peacekeepers taking part in what appeared to be a
sexual assault on an 18-year-old man. The video was widely seen on the
Internet.
