Jafrikayiti is right, as usual...

ala bel ou bel, makyavel.... sa bel net !

Just two cents from recent experiecne in Haiti: many poor Haitians in fact
support the big time drug dealers like Ketant because they actually do things
for the downtrodden, like sponsor soccer teams and hire lots of people to wash
their cars.  it might not sound like much, but compared to nothing it is
something.  In a sense it is true Reganomics: wealth trickles down to the poor.

So, howabout a narco state with a benign dictator with a true sense of weal
for the people?  Sounds more hopeful than democracy, at any rate (admittedly, I
might be a bit jaded, writing, as I am, from Miami). Maybe, anyway, therein
lies the true hope for Haiti.
