***Even communism or fascism would be an improvement.***
It was pointed out in an article about thirty five years or so ago that Haiti is such a basket case even the commies would not touch it.
Anyone remember that under the Clinton administration, in order for Clinton to get American black political support for his assault rifle ban he had to promise $$$ to Haiti.
I do. Thanks for bringing that up.
I sat alert for a massive air armada invasion fleet that was literally turned around in mid-air when Jimmy Carter (working as a stooge for Clinton) convinced the Haitians to change leadership. Then, we all flew in there anyway, and spent billions upon billions.
I was appalled at the corruption, dirt, and violence there, but then again - it was better than Somalia (Somalia was the worst).
I flew many more missions in the C-141 back into there. I vividly remember one where we were preparing for a visit by VP Al Gore.
The taxiways at the airport literally had pineapples lining them, everything had been rebuilt and painted, and the airport looked almost brand new - a sharp contrast from a few months earlier.
Soon after wards, the country fell back into crap.
