My point, NS, was not about the rule of law - which has - I will certainly agree - never been present - but rather of the ability of Haitians to feed and sustain themselves - which was the subject that I was speaking of.. But - I certainly respect your knowledge of political Haiti which far exceeds mine.

True, but even if they wouldnt have been put to the pressures that the Yanks put them in, it is a given that they would have arrived to the present course, as neither their methods of cultivation nor the way in which they availed of their available land resources (what Gunnar Myrdal calls "agrarian frontier") were sustainable over time. And problems will only mount in the long term, as the issue posed by their demographic vitality isnt addressed by the powers at be both at home and abroad.
Simply put, Nan, they have the highest birthrates not only of the entire archipielago, but also the entire continent as well. And the situation gets worse when you take it down to the population density per km2.
Stop blaming everybody else. Clinton was offered a bag of gold by rice lobbists to make the deal. And you can bet Aristide got his share of that gold to make that 3% deal work. Aristide sold out his own people to get a little richer while the citizens ate mud cakes. That's what filthy corrupt politicians do.

Anybody that claims a Dominican producer would “dump” his goods below cost, has no idea of the DR economy…
That will never happen, hasn’t happened.
DR sold eggs and poultry to Haiti, cheaper than the powers that be there, sold their imported ones plus profits.
The DR eggs and poultry will always be cheaper than anything Haiti imports or produces, just because of the sheer in place production in the country already.
If you notice the cost of shipping anything by sea or air as of late, so much is beyond debate.
Haiti fails because it is a failed state. It’s that simple. The self sufficient thing? Lies. If it was the case, the border market would had never existed to begin with.
One cannot read the article in the Economist without a subscription.. The idea that any elections will be held in September is faulty - since the US has most likely withdrawn support for any such elections ..
I want to launch a SOS Squared sauce for people to quote sun, but I tell myself what will be useful, since

is useless. By 5 p.m. in the afternoon G9 bandits attacked another group.
People are injured, people are killed, people are fled.
There are calls but no answers.
