Three profound problems....the power elite in this country have a stake in
the politics and economics of Haiti. This translates to manipulation of
Haiti's affairs. I know it is a ploy to scoff at such pronouncements as
conspiracy theories and finger pointing. While I agree that it is more
productive to concentrate on factors one has control over and no one in Haiti
can control what the US (read big business) will do, it is foolish not to
take this factor into consideration when strategizing on how to proceed.
Roadblocks are constantly being put in the way of human rights progress.
Like the Republicans are setting up stacks of tires and setting them on fire
(do you like my imagery?). The people have spoken.....but will the will of
the people be honored?? Is that how we do it here? When the people voted
Clinton in office for two consecutive terms was he allowed to serve
unmolested? Do you see much of a difference? I don't. "They" make us pay
for voting against "them."
