Response to Opinion. UN can't leave Haiti until rule of law is established Why not and whose rules?
This “nobles oblige” position on Haiti is without a doubt the
most backward, insensitive and unproductive approach to a NATION I have had the
misfortune to hear in the past 20 years…this type of ignorant overlord concept
was supposed to have ended with the independence of the African nations…this is
not a peace corps project this is the redevelopment and rebuilding of what was
and should again be considered an INDEPENDENT SOVEREIGN NATION.
These
are not children in need of monitoring and spoon feeding. It is a nation that
has been crippled by centuries or colonial racism and deliberate
underdevelopment and have been kept in that situation with the help of
American and European nations for the sole purpose of exploiting their people
and resources. Haiti was the FIRST/FIRST IDNEPENEDENT NATION in the Western
Hemisphere and they were able to sustain and grow to a power in the Americas
and the Caribbean until the European powers were able to unite and overtake and
suppress them-keep and maintain their oppression through their segregates and
lackeys the suppression and subjugation of their population.
When an
independent leader emerged he was run out and another puppet was put in place.
This is not about when it is about how. How will Haiti grow and rebuild if the
people that have historically controlled their downward spiral and repression
are still controlling the RPM, incoming and existing resources and the
direction in which they believe the NATION should be heading?
If the recommendation is not to grow, equip and educate the
police and military forces of Haitians to take control of their NATION SECURITY
as they complete their training assignments then the true goal is to assure
that the NATION of HAITI does not ever grow or become capable of
self-sustaining management and governance.
The UN has never, ever anywhere established any rule of law or
process that has left any nation in a manner that can be considered progressive
or productive. Having spent considerable time with NATO and the issues of
Yugoslavia including the situation in Belgrade, Pristina, Kosovo etc., etc., I
am not sure how anyone can fix their mouth or mind to even consider the “UN” as
an arbiter of law or justice we only have to look to the Bosnia, Republic Du
Congo and Kosovo situations to know what has not been done and may never be
done.
