Recently I was listening to a news caster opinion segment on the news and the commenter said; Well you can go to Haiti! What he was saying is; You can go to hell, only instead replacing it for the Television Viewer with Haiti instead. But is Haiti really the living hell people make it out to be? Indeed millions are starving to death there and the country is overrun with Witch Doctors preaching Voodoo Witchcraft and most there have very a very low IQ. One could say that Haiti is somewhat of a hell on Earth compared to most First World Nations. Now Haiti has a new President; Rene Preval. Violence is already down some 20%. These are some rather big changes since the exile of Jean Bertrand Aristide in 2004. Currently there are some 4,500 United Nations Peace Keepers there to help the new transitional government. The new reports say; Preval was elected on pledges to unite Haiti's deeply divided political factions and restore domestic peace. But Haiti faces much more in the next several months, as the 2006 Atlantic Hurricane Season is about to start and most Caribbean Islands are expecting massive flooding and potential devastating crop failures. So where as the new President may in fact help cool down the violence, the hot winds of Hurricane Season are almost ready to transcend the nation once again. Consider all this in 2006. |
