I am not Haitian, but my husband is.  He is not educated by our standards.  He 
did not even pass the (I can't remember what it's called now) what is our high 
school equivalent of a HS diploma.  And I have an Associates' Degree in 
Interpreter Training for the Deaf.  So we do not see things from the 
political/scientific point of view.  We both agree that for Haiti to grow it 
needs to be occupied by US forces.  Those are his words, not mine.  We agree 
that the first thing that Haiti needs is a good road from Cap-Haitian to 
Port-au-Prince so that people won't have to fly to Port from Cap.  We both 
agree that the 2nd need for Haiti is good hospitals, 3rdly good, public 
education.  He says that Haiti needs for good jobs to come to Haiti so that the 
people can be taxed as we are but he also says that the people of Haiti will 
not do this willingly and may even revolt such service.  This is just our 
conversation concerning Haiti and US since he has been a resident for 5 years.
thank you,
