"Aristide wanted to control everything in the country, and he  was
controlling
almost everything except the State University of  Haiti," says Mr. Paquiot,
a
soft-spoken mathematician who opposed  the Aristide government. "He had to
control the poor people, and  also the people who can think."



The problem at its core- no- not Aristide's desire to control- but  the
assumption the poor can't think.
