Wilgeens Rosenberg,
I don't hink you ever gonna get it. You and many other Haitians don't seem to be able to grasp and understand the difference between the role/function of governments from the role/function of citizens/civilians/people.
Any country interested in economic development must have the ground field/the conditions set by the government.
We all acknowledge there are a lot of business professional Haitians living abroad/overseas/diaspora with knowledge/education, skills, experience, etc...
who would love to go back to Haiti to work in the rebuilding of their country, but they can't because the government doesn't make them feel welcome, and the government doesn't provide them with the infrastructures necessary for them to come.
Take a close look at the United States for example, the government creates conditions for American people to invest in their country.
The government is always inviting and encouraging the American people to invest and engage in investing and in the rebuilding of their country by providing them with like: tax cuts, insetives, treating the American people as first class citizens with respect, dignity, and integrity.
And last but not least, the government provides leadership to the American people.
Mr. Wilgreens, when was the last time people in your neighborhood get together to clean up the streets, to build roads, provide electricity, drinking water, to do this or to do that?
Never! and do you know why?
Because it is NOT their responsibility, their job, and their duty. It is either the local government, or the state government, or the federal government's job, responsibility to do these things.
The neighborhood and the city residents only have the responsibility to keep the neighborhood and the city clean according to the rules/regulations/laws set by the government, and all violators will be penalized.
Another example, in 9/11, what did you see?
The government called on citizens to come together and provided leadership to unite the country.
It was not the other way around.
Haitians have been talking a lot of rethoric and blowing hot air around unity in order to move our country forward for the past centuries, and yet, division is becoming the norm everytime.
And do you know why that unity never takes place?
It is because citizens/civilians/people cannot unite a country.
It is the job and responsibility of the government.
If the government asks for it and make the effort for that by providing the leadership for it then citizens/civilians/people will rally behind the government to achive that goal. It is not the other way around.
Mr.Wilgreens, when was the last time you ever heard word like: unity, reconciliation, togetherness for our country come from the government?
Never! in fact, you see just the opposite from the government by sending the Haitian people into exile, or just being very happy to see Haitians leaving their country for foreign lands.
Mr.Wilgreens, please think and understand the difference between the function and the role of government from civilian's before you or anyone else comes out talking just to sound politically correct and hearing yourself talk.
If the Haitian government knew its function and role, we would have a much better Haiti by now.
Government leadership is what moves a country forward and nothing else.
