Excellent Post and history on the pandering that CLinton did with the Haitians. It was a very sad time in our History and I remember it well as I was in Broward County and still a Police Employee at that time. There were a lot of Haitians lost at Sea, and some that they found dead on the beaches in Broward,Dade,Palm Beach Counties. There were even sick jokes going around that were like this one. Why don't Haitians take baths? Answer, because they wash up on the Beach. It was never funny to me because they did by the Dozens wash up on the beach and died. Clinton never paid in any measure for this complete act of Politically tone deaf behavior that cost the lives of so many Haitians taking him at his word.
For Clinton, foreign policy was just an extension of domestic politics. He was more concerned on how issues played within the US than their impact on our national interests. If there was a conflict, domestic politics always won out.
