That would be interesting, if Wyclef becomes their president, I definitely will start following their day to day political moves on the regular.
Jean-Bertrand Aristide is getting shitted on again. Wyclef should be trying to support bringing this man back into his country. The military over threw him once, and Bush Jr.the second and his never allowed to return to his country. He was a Catholic priest and he tried so hard to rebuild Haiti, but he pissed off the elite and they paid for the military to get rid of him. Wyclef should be trying to restore Aristide to power, not filling his ego.

But Aristide turned out nothing better than any other despot, relying on intimidation and death squads. And of course he came back, he had a second term in office. Overall, it's a difficult topic. I found this http://www.lrb.co.uk/v26/n08/paul-farmer/who-removed-aristide article which I think is worth reading, as well as the letters to it.

I mean, if his using intimidation to stay in power, it failed bad. On the subject of that article, you said I should read it, and when I did I get a one sided argument that never said anything on death squads. It talks about left wing politics and how the middle class and elite hate him, which is true. But in a democracy, you have to do for the majority, and the majority is poor. Wyclef is already came out again Aristide in the past, saying he should be removed because hundreds of thousands listen to Aristide's every word and Aristide did not tell them to stop protesting when they removed him. Wyclef is the establishment's new puppet to get the people to forget about Aristide, and it might work, and with extra US help it might make people forget. But in reality, the democratically elected leader should be established in his country, or at the very least allowed to return to help with the recovery. You claim intimidation and death squads, but none were ever found or use. In reality Aristide talked against them during the Baby Doc reign, and within months, not years, Aristide was gone. Wyclef is a puppet, and it's sickening to see it happen like this.
