Still waiting for someone in the press to look at the second half of that island - Dominican Republic - which did far better than Haiti under a very different (conservative) leader, didn't they? Seems some obvious lessons to be learned here. Yep. Though note that they had to assassinate their dictator [Trujillo,in 1961, ask me about it sometime] to do it, and were subsuquently visited by the 82nd Airborne during *Operation Power Pack* when it looked like they were about to go communist.
