OT: I am sorry I have been a little rude lately Such mindless arrogance and boorish rudeness is commonly what we expect of you daily, so we didn't notice. It's just that the scope of my activities keep me in touch with a broader world that isolated Americans seldom examine. Americans may and often are insular and provincial. They have quite a few good excuses. A Frenchman and, worse, a French intellectual (even a French shyster, unlike his American counterpart, is at least nominally a member of the intelligentsia) has none of these excuses for ignorance, stupidity and bias. It is not how much information you have, but whether your mind is a fit instrument to process it. Your mind, dear Sandy, is not a fit instrument, as I shall immediately demonstrate. Like the news organization, Al Jazeera. Unless you want to argue that Al Jazeera, by reason of being owned and operated by Muslims, is somehow exempt from bias, it is just another news organization pandering to the prejudices of its audience. In your case, dear Sandy, it has hit the bullseye square in the age-old French love affair with the Arabs, arising not so much out of love for Arabs per se (as in the British case) but out of bone-deep French anti- semitism matched by the French love of filthy lucre for selling Arabs armaments. In short, dear Sandy, it would be surprising if a limp-minded surrender-froggie, such as you have repeatedly demonstrated yourself to be, didn't, in Sorni's vibrant phrase, 'drink the Al Jazeera Kool- Aid'. You're merely reacting true to form, like a well-trained dog salivating at the sign of its food bowl. Take a look at the story, the video, and most of all look at the stories on the right-hand column. I see a story about a bunch of religious nutters taking over a town or a region, and abducting children (particularly female children) from elsewhere to indoctrinate in their own ways. The police went in and released the hostages. (We'll come to executions without trial in a moment. It would be typical of the type of jerk in the modern Left, like Sandy, who would once have been a Marxist, to confuse the two matters of restoring order and street punishments.) Explore a little, and maybe you will pardon my having been a bit abrupt of late. If this Hocum Pocum or Boring Islamist Fundies or whatever they were called were instead an armed group of American religious fundies abducting people's small daughters to indoctrinate and turn into child brides, you, Sandy, would have been the first French trick cyclist (in case your English isn't as glibly misleading as appears, that's vernacular for 'nutter'

Hey Chalo! Canadians too are pursuing cultural hegemony and exploiting Haitians. Yeah, but they're polite about it. As always!

Although the United States built the infrastructure (hospitals, schools, roads, phones) in Haiti and gave it its first democratic election, I also agree that it did many stupid things that were characteristic of the '50s CIA (and later). This was our stock response to instability in the Caribbean. We are still evil and should stay out of Haiti for its own good. The strong and caring central government of Haiti should be left to take care of its people without meddling or intervention by the US, UN or any other organized government or government-sponsored groups. Once that occurs, Haiti will return to its golden age of peace, tranquility and economic prosperity.

I am due (maybe) to land in Lagos soon. I am really hesitant to be of use to those who want to get rich from the misery their dollars and euros impose. I may just give up my practice and do something useful. Anyway, here's the _link_: http://english.aljazeera.net/news/africa/2010/02/2010298114949112.html Let's hope that this is not the law and order of the Wild West that Sarah Palin wants to reintroduce.
