I have always liked Marifeli Perez-Stable's analysis, opinions etc. She is a very level-headed Cuban.

despite all the problems, we have to keep in mind that this is a young democracy. it will take generations to work out the kinks....all-in-all, the DR is doing pretty well...a seminal moment was not allowing Mejia to steal the 2004 elections....that was a major accomplishment

but you have to keep the heavy pressure on all these politicians...make them answer the tough questions and confront them when their graft is overly eggregious (sp).....no complacency, please
