#1 Certainly, it is a bad look to hand Haiti over to a new dictatorship for the purposes of shutting off one of 100 faucets of the flood of immigrants across our border. Still, you can't sell me on the fact that new Haitian elections are a step to a permanent solution to their corruption and poverty. Haiti has sucked forever. As a Cleveland area resident, we keep careful track of what sucks historically. It is our role in society like Guinness beer keeping track of world records. As a side question: why can't Haitians play baseball? Is their side of the island cursed to make it totally unable to birth a quality shortstop?

#2 Haiti is like Afghanistan in the sense that anyone hoping for "democracy" there is pissing up a rope.

#3 Haitians have never been able to manage their own affairs and it doesn't look like they ever will. I would say the United States should annex it and administer it the same as we do Puerto Rico. But, on second thought, it was the French who made Haiti what it is. The French should own up to their responsibility.

I think it's the French language. Ever know any baseball stars from Quebec?

#6 If the Clintons had bought gloves and bats they might have done some good there. Instead they just bought kids and sold uranium.
