Influence mostly. What with the aid coming from other countries in that part of the world ( a few of whom wouldn't be too fond of the US) and a non to happy population there's a good chance that there could be a radical change in government when the situation bottoms out. Something that could be viewed as a threat to US "Law and Order." Have to remember that Haiti was always one of the few bastions of the west in the area, dating back to the Cold War.
