US Peace Corps quits Haiti
Posted on June 20, 2005
I have a new anecdote for you all — US Peace Corps quits Haiti. First I thought that Peace Corps are supposed to help keep peace in troubled regions, and now we should laugh and giggle because they are running from “escalating violence”. But after looking at their official goals :
* To help the people of interested countries and areas in meeting their needs for trained workers;
* To help promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served;
* To help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans.
It looks to me that they are doing what that are supposed to do (spreading American influence and values), they just have wrong name. “Peace corps” should be renamed to “propaganda and special interest corps”.
Nothing to be ashamed of, it’s not that they are working for the “Ministry of Love” of something like that.
