With regard to Le Retour En Masse De Tous Les Exiles Haitiens Le 07 Fevrier 2011, You are right on schedule, Toulimen.

Good! We have got to let bygone be bygone, not because we are cowards but because we have to do what is best for Haiti...We need closure with certain national issues and we also need to move forward.

Bon retour et bon sejour Jean Claude.

I wish all the political exiles will follow in Jean Claude's foot steps with one exception: Jean Bertrand Aristide.

His case might be different than Jean Claude's if the victims kept their judicial demands current.

His coming to Haiti might not be in Haiti's best interest at this present moment because Jean Bertrand has a too confrontational style and the Urban mass is too angry and has nothing to lose right now....A full blown national war could only be one plane ticket away from South Africa, destination, Haiti with Jean Bertrand Aristide aboard.

Besides, Mr. Aristides has stepped on too many toes in Washington D.C., and has created too many enemies abroad.

Maybe someday when the Country is enjoying a more peaceful period and Haiti regained her strength back, then Jean Bertrand, Haiti's native son, should be able to come back to his country.

In the meanwhile, I hope the trend continues and the "reconstruction" is on its way, maybe then, I, too will have the courage to think about going back after so long a time....
