AN ECONOMICALLY STABLE HAITI AND DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
"Thus, A Better Hispaniola"

INDEED, AN ECONOMICALLY AND POLITICALLY STABLE HAITI WILL STEAM GREATER RELATIONS WITH THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND THE OTHER LATIN COUNTRIES WILL FOLLOW SUIT.

There are reasons for one to feel good about the prospect of the future for both nations because they will soon have to reach a common understanding and ground to function.

Hoping for such a co-existing reconciliation to be more positive and productive than negative in the future to help stop the blaming game.

As many may know, in light of any economical challenges any country may face, social differences and challenges arise in effort to shift blames which is understandably no more than what it is known and referred to as a basic human reaction emotion called PANIC.

"The Dominican Republic and Haiti share the island of Hispaniola and are broadly similar in terms of geography and historical institutions, yet their growth performance has diverged remarkably.

The countries had the same per capita real GDP in 1960 but, by 2005, the Dominican Republic's per capita real GDP had tripled whereas that of Haiti had halved."

Many individuals who are of both Dominican and Haitian mix are wishing that they could be proud to say one day, any day, that both of what they are surely are the best of worlds one can ever wish to be a part of.

Haiti and the Dominican Republic which share this great Island have been through so much together and separately.

Yet, though lacking the prosperity of certain advanced Countries, they were still able to accomplish this much and have come this far...

surely and unmistakably they can overcome any traverses present now. That one must strongly believe!!!

Like it, accept and deny it or not, as it once has been said before.

Without any doubts that perhaps there would or could have been a different kind of Dominican Republic, if at all; and indeed a different kind of USA to include Louisiana, Georgia and Chicago as well as would it be so for Venezuela, Columbia, Ecuador and many more other Latin-American Countries had there not ever been a Haiti.

Indeed, it is quite understandable if any now advanced Countries or any resentful former colonizing imperialists would fear such a bliss as this, that of...
