What Haiti has in common with Iraq

It took me an insane amount of time, but I just finished the book The Immaculate Invasion by Bob Shacochis. The book is about the American invasion of Haiti after the first coup the removed Aristide in the early 1990’s.

I have one big huge nitpick, but otherwise the book was pretty good. Nitpick first-

It is understandable that when writing about government agencies, etc. that you will use a lot of acronyms. However, the writer got more than a little bit lazy and overindulged in the acronyms, to the point that large chunks of paragraphs looked like I needed my secret code breaking ring found at the box of Fruity Chewy Ohs! circa 1982.
