The Truth About Aristide: Mob Boss or Persecuted Priest?

Over the past 50 years, Haiti has suffered under the rule of strongmen: Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier followed by his son Jean Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier, Jean Bertrand Aristide, and, most recently, Rene Preval.

This procession of corrupt, self-serving and violent leaders has left Haiti, a country with a proud history of being the first black republic in history, as one of the world's tragedies - a true failed state.

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, one of the most corrupt countries in the world, and ranks at the bottom for every health and social metric.

After the January 12 earthquake and a devastating cholera epidemic, Haiti is literally in shambles.

Time and time again, the Haitian people have stood up against these leaders sending them into exile.

Now Haiti's most infamous strongmen are vying for a role in their country once again.
