Seriously, seriously Montresor.

Do you know why in every country in the world people are punished for their crimes Montresor?

I don't think you do, so let me tell you. Yes of course the obvious, which is to make them pay for what they did to the innocent people they hurt. But no, that is not the main reason.

The main reason why societies around the world punish people who commit crimes is to deter other people from committing the same crimes.

Punishment for doing things that hurt your society is the best way to protect that society from repeated harm. Even children know this Montresor.

But you fail to grasp this very simple concept.

A child who is not punished for bad behavior repeats that behavior, and all children in that environment also repeat that behavior because they know there's no penalty for it. Your forgive and forget approach is all well and good in your personal life, but how are you going to be a head of state if you don't even know the basic about crime and punishment.

As you seem to be a religious zealot, let me remind you that indeed Jesus himself said give on to Caesar what is due on to him. The government of a country is responsible for the justice system, and since you have no clue why a justice system is even needed, how will you protect your citizens.

Since you are willing to forgive Duvalier and Aristide for their crimes against the Haitian people, I think you should be fair and also forgive all those gangsters who are kidnapping and killing people in Haiti now. You should also forgive and forget the crimes of those people who are robbing the homes of hardworking Haitians, and let's not forget those who rape women, or molest little children.

I don't think you should have two different justice systems in your government do you?

You know...one for your favorite people and another for the rest of the Haitian people.

So, just go right ahead and apply your "forgive all" system equally for everyone and everything will be fine...Don't you think?

Gera, I myself some times get very emotional about the situation of my fellow Haitians. I dream of a new Haiti where people around the world will seek for refugee and opportunity. I believe true reconciliation must start with both Aristide an > >

Dear Mr.Gera Bougui and President Montresor, It is with deepest regret and heartbroken to hear both of you calling on bringing Aristide and Jean-Claude back to Haiti as "The" only solution for reconciliation of the Haitian people. My question > >

Linda I do not think criminals should be forgiven and forgotten. However, their crime must be proven, and they must be convicted-hence the rule of law. Aristide and Jean Claude should be allowed to return home and face the music, if any. Noneth > >

Tiba, I am not an author of confusion and here's what said: “And it will not be a bad idea for Aristide and Duvalier to publicly bless and release Haiti/Haitians to move forward without their leadership ambitions.” Meaning us Haitians need > >

Your comment is evasive by intent. Yes a person's crime should be proven. But once it is proven no president should forgive a leader who committed crimes against humanity. You don't get to kill people and be pardoned. There's a difference between cor > >

Linda You said exactly I was going to say though more eloquently. I notice how Montressor is using God's name in vain to promote is despicable and deceitful ideologies. One thing is for sure while he might so casual about punish the guilty sooner or > >

Zac, Don't you know by now the president "wannabe" Montresor is indeed a radical republican? These fantatic, conservative republicans, the self-rightious political party in the country, keep preaching to everybody, carrying the bible under their a > >
