Good Day Nadal,

I have read your long answer I do not recall having asked for. I stated in one of my two addresses to you that you have the right to pursue your political goal, which does not mean that you have one per se, or was  even the main idea of my reflexion. The latter was about your step to write: "WE,HAITIAN PEOPLE" while bashing the government. I felt that might have led others to think that you were either mandated to speak on behalf of at least a majority of haitian people, or your writing was an official work.
I recall also that among all your declarations against the government I had a sense that some essential points were missing about the drug problem in Haiti, you never failed to evoke, and I asked for some kind of clarification. I remembered asking you when did the drug problem start emerging in Haiti; who was the king of the operations then, especially during the coup years, and I could add today: when did the battle over the drugs in Haiti took place for the President to dethrone the then-king it would be appropriate to tell us about?
It is not that I do not have other questions. After all I know by experience what dictatorship and atrocities are all about, but I let it to other honest readers and participants like you to analyze what you write and what they actually see both, bad and good, with the Duvalier's years as landmarks, including the coup years.

May they (readers and participants)have then the strenghth inside them, as you do " to say the  the truth about the real political situation in Haiti." And I mean the truth that cannot be one-sided and always ready to cast the tones to people or group we don't like. Truth, as far as we must be concerned is more profound and more demanding than that, and fortunately can be dug out whatever the language we used.
