"The Devil..." ?!?!?
I really don't get it at all... Haitians elected this man... TWICE, and
overwhelmingly at that.  and now he is "The Devil"?!?!?  this sounds like
the
evangelical theodicy concerning Boukman's pact with the Devil at bwa
kayman...
that is why haiti is so kraze, wi?
doesn't faith in democracy entail patience with those whom the people
elect?
if they turn out to be devils, well, then vote them out at the end of
their
terms and move on with life... or be stupid and reelect them... like USA
did
with Ronald Reagan.
increasingly it seems that the bottom line is that democracy is a
chimera... no
pun intended...
