27884: Boswell -- Haiti - Democracy/Dialogue (fwd)
From: Richard A. Boswell <boswellr@pacbell.net>
It is interesting to watch how fractured and skewed people's views can be.
When opponents of Aristide launch into their attacks they do so without
acknowledging any of the positive developments. I have been supportive of
Aristide government, but will readily acknowledge that there was corruption and
other transgressions. At the same time opponents cannot even acknowledge what
to me was a glaring difference in Haiti during Aristide's presidency -- which
was that people could openly criticize his government and schools were being
built, and I could go on and on.
So my question to the folks that were/are on the other side. What
acknowledgment would you like to hear from the Aristide supporters that you
have not heard that could help move the conversation forward.
