Since Papa Doc Duvalier, the Ton Ton Macoute, Baby Doc, several military dictatorships and the leftist, Aristede, there has been nothing but mayhem, poverty and sickness – beginning with its achieving its – dysfunctional – independence. As Americans, we can expect vilification from our so-called international "partners" in spite of – maybe because of – of our charitable activities in Haiti. But help them we will. And, I suppose we should. The left, while we are saving lives and rebuilding Haiti, will prefer to "all hold hands in a circle and sing 'kumbaya'" while burning a few more of our flags as we proceed –as we always do – trying to bail out yet another failed state.
