<< While many listmembers are justly concerned with the abuses heaped upon
Haitian citizens by its government and NGOs in bed with the same, I am
unaware that much has been done to bring these matters before U.S.
mainstream media, the appropriate section at the U.N. headquarters (NYC) and
the U.S. State Department. IMHO, left in blissful ignorance of these
abuses, these institutions will generally favor elected officials and
regimes. These folks need to know how the local UN officials and Haitian
government are impacting Haitian citizens. >>

What media have Mr. Walton (if I am not calling you by your correct title,
forgive me) been reading/watching/listening to? I can't GET balanced
reporting about Haiti; it is so blindly one-sided against the present Haitian
government as to made the most rational person believe in wild conspiracy
theories. The US does NOTsupport the Haitian government....or else why are
they withholding financial aid and producing an amazing amount of propaganda
against one man, one party with no critical information on anyone or any
other party to speak of? I can only imagine that in Mr. Walton's capacity in
the military, he has not been stationed in Haiti. If he has, then his post
has to be disingenuous. Anyone who was in the US military in Haiti knows who
the US supports and it isn't Aristide. Military careers were destroyed over
our policy of serving the wealthy elite's interests rather than the much
beleaguered majority population. Morale was in horrible condition over our
military policy in Haiti.

else should the U.S. deal with?>>

If our government assumes that the majority of Haitian people support the
Haitian government (who has not been allowed to do their job to help Haiti,
much because of US interference), they do so because they have no choice, as
the majority of Haitians continue to support Aristide. Yet the US government
STILL supports a bloodless coup in the name of Democratic Convergence
(interesting that they didn't use the term Republican). In my humble
opinion.......this is sheer American arrogance. Does this government,
including the military complex, think they have done a good job in
identifying where our national security is in danger??? I think not from a
small country in the Caribbean, but rather, perhaps, from terrorists in the
Middle East who were once supported by us? These mistakes have turned out to
be deadly ones.

One more comment, the media is a tool of big business. Most of it is owned
by corporations, conglomerates. Let's not look on them as the harbinger's of
truth.
