#1 I call BS. The key to Haiti's stability is them being responsible for themselves. We are "aiding" them to death.

#3 Simply a matter of ending oppressive colonial rule and Aparthied, establishing legitimate majority rule, etc. Examples include 'legislative elections' in Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Detroit.

#4 The key to Haiti's stability is the establishment of heretofore absent property rights. Then maybe France could return some of the money it extorted.

#6 Merely imitating the Bush Doctrine.

Of course, Haitis' a basket case, fit only to be screwed over by the United Nations.

I'll post the link tommorow, but the UN officials responsible for the rampant corruption in Somalia, got 'promoted' to Haiti.

#7 Replacing a corrupt and ineffective government with an elected corrupt and ineffective government = EPIC FAIL

#9 Of course she doesn't believe it, tu.

She lies just like her boss.

And I'm still waiting for someone to explain her strategy in taking the SoS job - what's in it for her?
