Mister Arthur replied to Ms. Laplanche regarding Lavalas getting ready to
killing more. But again, I will no speak and revert to personality and I hope
Mister Corbett post this post for me. It's a personal experience related. Very
true and personal.

I meet and spoke and deal with Ms. Laplanche long long long time ago in
Pótoprens in school for learning. Impeccable, smiling, pretty, and so very
very very intelligent person. No joke, no kissing for nothing here. She really
is very impeccably brilliant, reasoned and, rational. That why is why I no
forgot her; I never forget smart people because I respect smart people too
much to forget them. Surprise to me, I was shocked, surprised, and utterly
saddened in the deepest of ways to read her comment/conclusion that somehow,
Lavalas was responsible for the Brazilian/UN comment. Maybe she know more than
we. If so, then I respectfully would shut my big fat lips and mouth. But what
if she do not and speculating only?

Again, this is no about her, but about how all of we Haitians may have become
too impassioned in the twisting game of political nightmarish Haiti. The truth
is maybe, that whoever the person is or party is who want to kill UN people,
that person or party is stupidly dangerous. So if Lavalas, then so be it and
the culprits judged. But why conclude that way that everything wrong is or has
to be Lavalas like that? How so many smart people Haitian from us let his and
her self so entangled in the negatively passion of Haitian politics for us to
conclude always so fast when the facts are no even known well? Why so much
hate on either side? My dad use to say to me: ti gason, you don't build ever,
with hate; you build with love and positiveness. I thought he was right and
agreed but maybe he was wrong. Maybe I should hate a little too.

I spending the whole past weekend thinking about the post she writing and
still thinking now. I know personally it is hard very much for us to not be a
little passion for who we like or no like in politics Haiti. But I had to ask
myself and am still asking, if I simply moun fou or also crazy literally. Am
not sure anymore. So many smart educated Haitians has been so passion-driven
lately with hate, on all sides involved in politics Haitian, that we may have
become a little bit too ayatollished. No good for Haiti.

You may no believe me but for the very first time, I really got scared for
Haiti. I know how much she love Haiti and want good for Haiti. Same way I know
how much many people, like her I know and speak with and talk to and discuss
with, love Haiti so very much and want good for Haiti. But we never take time
to say to us, "we need a time-out", like American people say; time out; deep
breathing. Consequentially, we conclusion for erroneous many times and that's
what make it a little harder for Haiti. If the premise is incorrect, so will
the conclusion.

I am in a lost for words, specially because my English already never too good.
I also only now understand little bit for example, why Mister Reuters Guyler
Delva so hated and attacked two years before by Lavalas hard-liners for
spreading bad news. They hated for him. Today, he hated and attacked and
accused by former opposition for spreading bad news. I no want to be him, but
I feel for him. I really feel for him. Even his problem intimate used for
politics by Ph. D. US former diplomat in Haiti in mid-fact, mid-fiction book
(Dan Whitman's " The Undoing of a Latent Democracy"). The guy was/is perhaps
too factual no enough religiously ideological, right or left.

It's hard, very hard to respect journalism facts in Haiti. You no liked today
by Lavalas, tomorrow by former Convergence. I hope Reuters understand that.

Is there really hope for Haiti? Is there? Is there? I really don't know.

Du Tuyau, making no sense and rambling as usually.
