29189: Dailey: The Return (fwd)

As Preval has stated numerous times, the Haitian Constitution does not 
recognize the concept of exile. Moreover, a Haitian citizen may enter and leave 
the country without a visa. I assume this applies to the citizen's American 
wife as well. I have no doubt whatsoever that the former President embezzled 
millions and that his followers were responsible for the deaths of a great many 
people. However, the GOH has had ample time to bring a prosecution and has not 
done so, so presumably the evidence was not forthcoming. And while I believe 
that his return would be dangerously destabilizing, my opinion is irrelevant. I 
readily acknowledge that he would be greeted by enthusiastic crowds, and I 
suppose its possible that he still has a contribution to make, teaching or 
working with youth. And he's tan, rested and ready! So let's hear it for the 
man who was once the world's youngest head of state and president-a-vie, the 
Honorable Baby Doc!
