Is this seriously proposed as the basis of 
future reflection on the situation in Haiti?

Wherever the fault in a situation lies, it seems 
to me that such uncritical adulation serves 
nothing and no-one, least of all Haiti and its 
people.

But, as we can observe, some foreigners come 
to places like Haiti filled with complexes and 
needs and wishing only to believe -- in anything.
There are a few of them on this list, lovable 
and eccentric though some might be.
Because of their better wealth, health and 
education, they have what one might call 
disproportionate influence.  

Surely _this_ is the famous "laboratory" that
Aristide likes to talk about?
