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.

Indeed.

I was a bit wrong btw. Haiti's slave revolt succeeded. They in fact killed nearly all the whites who could not escape but then it unfortunately morphed into a battle between shades of Mulattos and pure Africans which has ebbed and flowed as conflict thru today. The fact that baby Doc married a very light skinned mulatto (Michelle Bennet) is the main reason he lost his grip and the support of those who propped him up.

I found Haiti fascinating btw. It was rife with political violence and some banditry but even with all that, unless the Macoutes were on the move or some coup was going down, I felt safer in Port au Prince or Petionville than say Kingston where there is palpable hostility towards non-Africans or anyone percieved to have money.
