Chiri, I like your definition of Fate, Cosmos, Power, or whatever. Randomness is not so random once you study it.
Jose, a beautiful sentiment. If all this is to happen in Haiti, then the superpowers really need to make a straightforward long term commitment and help Preval out, who is the only hope for the moment. No more of the forked tongue policy of the Bush administration , the nature of which has recently been revealed by the exambassador and several analytic articles that have appeared in the mainstream press. While I am an outspoken critic of the treatment of Haitian migrants on this side of the border, it is high time that the world pitch in here and help out the Dominicans, who have been allowed to shoulder the burden of this diaspora without the proper resources to do so. And things are not so stable or prosperous on this side of the border either for the majority of Dominicans, so the instability of Haiti has bad repercussions here, as Kiwi Bruce points out. Heck we need help too! The frontier is a severely impoverished and underdeveloped region, and the population is suffering. Do you know that a reporter from some paper went to Elias Pi?a to see what the people felt about things after the arrest of Quirino -- and you know what he found? They missed him! Of course, he spent money on the people, while the govt has neglected the area.
