1) It will be difficult to establish peace in Haiti when the only real economic opportunity for the disenfranchised comes with a gun.

2) It will be difficult to understand what steps need to be taken in Haiti when Human Rights organizations take sides.

3) Nothing can be resolved without the parties concerned choosing representatives, sitting at a table and coming up with a step by step plan.

4)At the stage we're at here in Haiti, nothing will be resolved in the streets, only at the table.

5) Until the people financing the violence are convinced one way or another that their goals won't be met with this method, nothing will change.

6) Military dictatorships haven't worked and neither has the dictatorship <of the masses>.

7) The different classes and sectors of the Haitian population have to respect each other and work out a solution together. Put the guns down so children can go to school and people can go to work while solutions are being worked out. Good leadership should be setting proper examples.
