SHUT THE HELL UP! THERE IS NOTHING MORE DANGEROUS THAN A FOOL WHO THINKS HE KNOWS IT ALL." MONSIEUR JE SAIS ..JE SAIS TOUT..JE SAIS DEJA!! NONE OF THE PAST DICTATORSHIPS HAVE WORKED AND HAITI IS THE POOREST COUNTRY IN THE ANERICAS.

I am tired of hearing it. Check the archives on this blog for THE LIST of some of the 40,000 thousand people who perished under Duvalier.

Do some reading on Haitian History.

DEMOCRACY is the most successful type of government all over the world along with a laissez faire economic system and government guaranties.

The era of the strong African chief for life is over. Democracy works when most of the people of that country follow the rule of law. (specially its government).

government.

The Assembly is bicameral, the upper house being the Senate of Haiti
