Will Haiti become our next Afghanistan?

Doubtful. I don't see the prospect for extensive armed conflict, particularly attacks against American forces. I just don't see a the practice of suicide bombings and IED planting becoming widespread. There is nothing like the Taliban or Al Qaeda there, at least not in even vaguely significant numbers.

I meant from a financial POV; not terrorism. Haiti is a mess....its going take many billions, maybe a trillion to rebuild it. I am afraid the US will get stuck with the bill.
