Santiago Declaration of 1991

Chris Dodd

I will point out as well, if I can--and I know that international agreements are not always thought of as being terribly important in some people's minds. But in 1991, President Bush, the 41st President, along with other nations in this hemisphere, had signed the Santiago Declaration of 1991.

That declaration, authored by the Organization of American States, said that any nation, democratically elected in this hemisphere, that seeks the help of others when they are threatened with an overthrow should be able to get that support.


Rep. Maxine Waters Calls on Congress Not To Recognize New Haitian Government

The new US-supported Haitian Prime Minister Gerard Latortue arrived in Washington Tuesday for his visit since the U.S. helped oust President Jean Bertand Aristide. Waters is calling on members of Congress not to recognize the new prime minister.

In February, Haitian President Jean Bertrand Aristide was removed from power in what he calls a modern kidnapping in the service of a coup d'etat backed by the United States.

Now, government officials have brought the new US-supported Prime Minister Gerard Latortue to Washington to meet with members of Congress, top Bush administration officials, international financial institutions and members of the Congressional Black Caucus.

This comes as Haiti descends even deeper into poverty and Aristide supporters are reportedly being killed in the streets.


WHILE I SIT HERE TRYING TO THINK OF THINGS TO SAY


SOMEONE LIES BLEEDING IN A FIELD SOMEWHERE

SO IT WOULD SEEM WE'VE STILL GOT A LONG LONG WAY TO GO

I'VE SEEN ALL I WANNA SEE TODAY

WHILE I SIT HERE TRYING TO MOVE YOU ANYWAY I CAN


SOMEONE'S SON LIES DEAD IN A GUTTER SOMEWHERE

AND IT WOULD SEEM THAT WE'VE GOT A LONG LONG WAY TO GO

BUT I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE

SWITCH IT OFF IT WILL GO AWAY

TURN IT OFF IF YOU WANT TO

SWITCH IT OFF OR LOOK AWAY

WHILE I SIT AND WE TALK AND TALK AND WE TALK SOME MORE

SOMEONE'S LOVED ONE'S HEART STOPS BEATING IN A STREET SOMEWHERE

SO IT WOULD SEEM WE'VE STILL GOT A LONG LONG WAY TO GO, I KNOW

I'VE HEARD ALL I WANNA HEAR TODAY

TURN IT OFF IF YOU WANT TO (TURN IT OFF IF YOU WANT TO)

SWITCH IT OFF IT WILL GO AWAY (SWITCH IT OFF IT WILL GO AWAY)

TURN IT OFF IF YOU WANT TO (TURN IT OFF IF YOU WANT TO)

SWITCH IT OFF OR LOOK AWAY (SWITCH IT OFF OR LOOK AWAY)

SWITCH IT OFF

SWITCH IT OFF

SWITCH IT OFF

SWITCH IT OFF

SWITCH IT OFF

TURN IT OFF

1. B...but they have brown skin. I thought we were supposed to ignore them. - n/t

[demosincebirth]

2. ...an...and no oil.

[lapfog_1]

3. Jury is still out

wait until the oil drilling off Cuba has been tried. Not to say that even if the Cubans strike oil (wouldn't that be ironic) that all of a sudden Haiti would be flowing in petrodollars.

[demosincebirth]

4. I hope Cuba strikes it rich with billions and billions of barrels of oil.

As far as Haiti is concerned I'd wish they'd get a stable government in first. God, they need one.

5. Looks like NOLA to me. But what do I know?

8. At the time I thought

how New Orleans looked like Haiti

Until she spoke, no Christian nation had abolished Negro slavery.

Until she spoke, no Christian nation had given to the world an organized effort to abolish slavery.

Until she spoke, the slave ship, followed by hungry sharks, greedy to devour the dead and dying slaves flung overboard to feed them, ploughed in peace the South Atlantic, painting the sea with the Negro's blood.

Until she spoke, the slave trade was sanctioned by all the Christian nations of the world, and our land of liberty and light included. Men made fortunes by this infernal traffic, and were esteemed as good Christians, and the standing types and representations of the Savior of the World.

Until Haiti spoke, the church was silent, and the pulpit was dumb. Slave-traders lived and slave-traders died. Funeral sermons were preached over them, and of them it was said that they died in the triumphs of the Christian faith and went to heaven among the just.

This segment was extracted from Lecture on Haiti and edited in its present form by Guy S. Antoine ( http://windowsonhaiti.com ) in July 1998. The speech was delivered at the World's Fair, in Jackson Park, Chicago by the Hon. Frederick Douglass, ex-Minister to Haiti on January 2, 1893 and can be read online at:

[Pachamama]

7. Wow! I forgot about this! The list of crimes that Bush has perpetrated are so long, its hard to

remember them all!

I only hope that we will in our lifetime see these criminals all be brought to justice!

9. Great post

[H2O Man]

10. It is.

Nominated.

[rman]

11. If we go down that road (which i think we should),

we can retroactivly impeach just about every US president and many of the associated officials since, like, George Washington or thereabouts.

[Hubert Flottz]

12. Yes Impeach.

America can't afford a Fuhrer!

Edit...Bush is America's War Lord! Texas Taliban!

14. Kick!
