8769: More on Aristide's "aims" as stated in Cuba

Dear Jean,

I resonate with the hope to get out of misery and into simple poverty...
and 
hope you won't criticize that as a lowly ambition for Haiti. Of course we 
want more... but even making that step is a huge leap. You are probably 
Haitian, you have probably seen the misery. Once people make that first
step 
into "simple poverty," there will be no end to their aspirations... but
the 
first step is urgently necessary. People who are so desperate for survival 
cannot even hope for anything better than survival. People who are
surviving 
have the opportunity to make "the revolution of rising expectations."
