We may indeed. Between 1956 and 1985, the US government issued over one million
entry visas to Haitians....


Absolutely agreed.
Given the sad state of Haiti, I did speak too cruelly of the place.

My understanding is that the general populace is positive in their feelings
about the USA. I hope their leaders/politicians will get it together some day
and make the place more livable for the average Haitian.

Clinton propped up Aristide even though he was a thug. Most folks saw this coming...but it will never make the news. Instead, we have two bit hacks trying to blame the President for not doing what he did in Iraq...which they blame him for doing.

When Mr. Philipe gets out in front of his armed thugs and leads a charge on the Marines, I will take him seriously enough to send flowers to his services. As it is he seems to be ranting against the "whites" just like some of our leaders do and for the same reasons.

That's not what guerrillas do. They plant mines.

All Phillipe needs to do is lift his finger from the deadmans switch, and you'll get much worse than suicidal charges against the Marines.

One difference is that Clintoon imposed a bloodthirsty Marxist on Haiti...

I don't think the Haitians are going to see a Republican-imposed dictatorial CEO as any particular improvement.

I also recall back in 91 when Bush I had approval ratings in the 80% range, foolishly squandered that goodwill, and gave us 8 years of Clinton. I hope Bush II is not stupid enough to repeat that blunder.

I like this guy.

We need a semi-stable Haiti or terorists will take root. This mess that Klintoon caused will be cleaned up in short order.

We need a semi-stable Haiti or Cubans will take root. Clinton and the Clintonistas did not see that as a problem.
