Petrus, just when I start to trust your intentions you blind-side me with insults.

I don't get it....

Here we go again: A Haitian lecturing an American on American History.

Let this sink in to your skull: I admire you for your pride, however self-destructive it may be, but don't propose that Haiti EVER had ANY kind of substantial influence on American History.

The thesis is SILLY from the TOP to the BOTTOM.

It's like proposing that an ant has a significant influence on the life of an eagle.

Pride is healthy only to the extent that it doesn't BLIND a man, and yours has blinded you. I don't deny Haitian efforts and accomplishments in, and on behalf of, America, but to act like they actually bore any formative value is ABSURD.

History's losers love to rewrite it so as not to feel so inferior.

I say you needn't feel so inferior; for you have been a victim of improper American policy.

Having submitted that, I suggest that you quit making wild claims of the Haitian role in American history.

I believe strongly in Haitian Potential, but please remember where you are. You are in the belly of the beast.

Baron, i understand that America has an atrocious track record in Haitian affairs, but it does not necessarily follow that we we will commit the same same atrocities all over again... The world has changed and I believe that America would be bound by > >

Baron, I believe a Public Treaty in which America disavows economic hegemony in the Haitian economy, would be a good framework. Haitian resources should be controlled by Haitians, not Americans. A panel of OAS observers would ensure that cold-blooded > >

A lottery should be put in place by which those who are literate in Kreyol are given an opportunity for business education and a role (including a financial stake) in rebuilding the Haitian economy. Contrary to what many believe, it is Small Business > >

Jynee, I agree with the basic thrust of your message, with one exception: The reason france sold the Louisiana Territory was because she was embroiled in a costly war with other European powers, and was engaged in a dispute with Spain over the land a > >

Jynnee, when arguing about the French territories on the United States, one must say the "Louisiana Territory" and not the actual state of Louisiana including parts of Louisiana, Missouri, Indiana, Kentucky, Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska and a part of C > >

Ablerooster, Haiti must make a choice between the Protectorate or an Independent State Associated with the United States for any economic progress to occur in Haiti. In today's world, there is no independent country that can stand on its own with th > >

Ablerooster, I don't know what you said that keeps this conversation going about the contribution of Haiti to the wealth of America, but I think that you need to close this chapter by making a statement on your own so others can move on another topi > >
