Black red, From what I heard the Macoutes were a repressive force in Haiti.

They used fear and intimidation to oppress the people.

I agree with you that Haiti needs lasting peace and security, but a macoute type of security is certainly not the solution.

If that were to happen it would set whatever little progress Haiti has done down the drain.

Haiti needs a well organize, discipline police force, and they need to expand the police force.

The Haitian government has to make security a priority in the country, and it has to begin paying the police better salaries in order to mitigate the levels corruptions.

From what I heard the police's salary is pretty miserable and that is one of the reason why they are prone to accepting bribes; next to that is the need to better educate them. Haiti's problems are enormous and complex, but if we all join hands we can unfold some of the issues.

The topic is: Haiti needs Ton Ton Macoutes to RETURN.

Mark you know something I like the way you think. There's a lot of wisdom in your comments. Last you asked me about myself, why don't you tell me a little about yourself? Are you involved in politics or something? > >

No Zac not at all. I consider myself a conscientious human being. We all have a sense of right and wrong, but many people choose to ignore it. I am 31 years old married to a Haitian woman, and we have two children. Zac you will be surprised when I te > >

Mark let me repeat myself again, perhaps you didn't read the comment I wrote before the last one. I'm not a politician, I'm not involved in Haitian politics, I'm not running for president or anything. I'm a 22 year old Haitian living the US the > >

I did not mean to offend you. I was only kidding with you. I do not know you, but you seem like a stand-up guy with great intentions which will take you a long way someday. > >

Brother, yeah you have a valid point i feel that the only solution is for the people to make it hard for MINUSTAH to breath. then make it hard for those corrupt gov't officials to breath. > >

J'ai lu votre commentaire et celle de l'autre individu (Zac). Mais la realite est que l'ONU ne peut pas aider Haiti si Haiti ne veut pas d'abord aider lui-meme. On ne peut pas tous faire pour Haiti. Chaque nation a la responsabilite de defendre ses i > >
