Questions on Haiti's future

[struggle4progress]

AMID all the official clap-trap about "preparing" Haiti for new elections later this year, the sad reality is that life for the mass of Haitians continues to worsen as the country wallows in cyclical crises. <snip>

If the rebel thugs of a disbanded army and criminals have a common cause in spreading the climate of violence and fear in which the country is gripped, while leading members of Aristide's "Fanmi Lavalas" party remain in overcrowded cells without being charged, what will happen as Haiti moves closer to October 9, date of the first round of local government elections? <snip>

But since the first aid donors conference that was held following the grim economic devastation and hundreds of lives lost from floods and mudslides, only less than ten percent of the pledged US$1 billion has been received in Haiti. <snip>

Therefore, I return to the earlier question: What are the Bush Administration and the UN Security Council really doing about the Haitian crisis of political instability, violence, gross human rights violations and the hunger and suffering of millions? <snip>

1. Bush is creating the situation. THe UN appears to be ignoring it..

After all, having a country where the governmnet tries to help it's people more that the American people is definately a government that needs to be replaced with Washington puppets. This is another crime. Almost as bad as Iraq.
