I've lived in Haiti extensively for what that's worth.

Haiti has zero experience with anything since failure from it's inception as a colony thru the slave revolt to today.

That country needs to start over...which is impossible so I think they are best served by a strong central authority that could implement some sort of sustainable economy and eventually a pluralistic republic.

Man, that country is so shot out....hard to see any hope there. Clinton went there for 2 reasons. Stop the boat people waves and please the CBC that he was doing something for a "black nation".

Aristedes was no better than the scores that have come before him. A bloodthirsty ex-priest..scary.

Thanks for the insight. Haiti is a mess. Of course, the leftists (like the CBC) who opposed regime change in Iraq were for regime change then.
