When did hunger become prevalent in Haiti? All these things started occuring after the arrival of the U.S-U.N back mission.  As long as the U.N. remains there things will stay the same and after they leave, the situations might improve a little. I'm not in politics in Haiti or anywhere else but it bothers me how quickly we all seem to forget that the country was progressing slowly under Aristide. As for Haiti, the country will never change unless the people change themselves; no one can consciously denied that Christianity and democracy are the roots of our trauma. We need to reflect and proceed from where our revolution was redrailed. When did the kignapping start in Haiti? When did hunger become prevalent in Haiti?

Candidates all kowtow to the corn industry, which means pushing ethanol.  And I repeat:  it's bi-partisan.  Bob Dole used to be called the Senator from Archer Daniels Midland.Setting aside your misplaced attack on Gore, and by extension people who would prefer not to see the world environment damaged, we have national security reasons for finding sources of energy other than middle eastern oil.  A portion of every oil dollar we spend ends up in a Hams, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda or Iranian National Guard bank account.Haiti's problems are not a result of environmental pressure.  They are a result of hideously corrupt and ineffective government in a country with no natural and few human resources.  Haiti is a basket case that produces very little, with that little being stolen by its own government.You want to save Haiti?  Maybe you should be arguing for a UN or US take-over.  That might accomplish something.  Sneering at Al Gore won't.

As always, it will hit the poorest the hardest. Sometimes bleeding-heart liberals don't bleed so much. Well, you know Bill Clinton said we were going to have to suck it up.

Try reading this detailed human rights study at http://www.law.<strong>miami</strong>.edu/cshr/CSHR_Report_02082005_v2.pdf The UNited States, Canada, and France all have worked continually to overthrow elected governments in Haiti. The only accept democracy in Haiti if it means privatization, drop of government subsidies for poor, and US embassy control of the police. Haiti has been wrecked because of the policies of our countries and institutions in the west. They really do deserve billions in reparations truth be told.
