You are absolutely right: it is time for Haiti to go forward. No more
Coup d'États and foreign interventions and an end to neo-colonialism.

In order to advance Haiti, as opposed to a slide back into the
endless procession of coups and occupation, it is imperative that an
investigation is carried out into the violent overthrow of an elected
government. The mere fact that the U.S. and France is blocking such
a routine investigation tells volumes. If the events are indeed as
they are being depicted by the occupying forces, the inquiry would do
nothing but vindicate them.

I look forward to The New York Time's mea culpa on the reporting on
Haiti, as they just did in regard to the falsehoods propagated in
conjunction with the Iraq reporting, but I am not holding my breath.
There is a whole different truth out there and an international
inquiry is bound to serve up many facts that would make the
mainstream media and the governments involved, look very bad indeed.

All this is necessary stop the empty rhetoric from people that are
for the status quo of politics in Haiti, because they, or the social
classes for which they are the proxies, stand to line their pockets
better if the neo-liberal adjustments to the Haitian economy, as
championed by the de facto government, are carried out. It is rather
hard to envision how this process will bring anything but more
suffering to the majority of the people.
