22929: Morse: Caricom (fwd)
From: OLOFFSONRAM@aol.com
I'm not quite sure of what Caricom is or what it does. It seems to be a
club of forty or fifty year old former colonies. I do know that when
Aristide was doing his thing in Haiti (such as killing and intimidating
journalists), Caricom was at a loss for words. Has Haiti lost jobs
because of its separation with Caricom? Has Haiti lost investment because
of its separation from Caricom? The Haitian people seem to suffer no
matter who is in power, whether its the left or the right. Is Aristide
suffering right now? Is Cedras suffering right now? Perhaps a bit of
embarrasment, but they're not starving or getting shot at. They're
probably looking for book deals.
Its time to think about the Haitian people. If we don't, they'll become
the Dominican people or the Miami people or the Bahamian people of
Haitian descent.
