		The fact that the united $tates took power in Haiti in 1915 proves that the united $tates had its own motivations for colonialism and it also proves MIM's line that within 100 years of 1776, Amerikkkans had killed off the United States.
		Today Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world, wrecked by its close ties to the united $tates, which repeatedly destabilizes the country to reshuffle its lackeys there.

		Haiti is another perfect case of the lie in all Amerikan "foreign policy" which is really a system, not a policy.

		Political systems seek to bring about improvement in people's lives; but politics in Haiti has only made the Haitians' lives worse.
		While other books portray Haiti as a passive victim of U.S./capitalist manipulations, this book identifies the causes of widespread poverty and political instability as the result of multiple external and internal factors centered in the elite-mass relationship, with the resourcefulness of the people blocked by greedy governments.
		Essential to Haiti's recovery are closer ties to the Caribbean and to the EEC, along with a continuing relationship with the United States.

		The chaos in Haiti that drove Jean-Bertrand Aristide from office and his continued assertion that it was Washington who removed him make it easy to forget that just 10 years ago, he and Haiti were heralded as a U.S. foreign policy success.
		As Washington attempts to assert its influence anew in a country where it has sent troops twice in a decade, the risks of letting U.S. policy in Haiti fall into the hands of the few least interested in a bipartisan approach should be clear.
		It was clearly a questionable condition, considering the fact that Haiti's new police force was barely in place and scrambling to keep order on an island whose military had just been disbanded.

		The author suggests that Haiti's experience shows that for democracy to succeed in any country, there needs to be a balance of power between two competing classes, the bourgeoisie and the workers.
		The absence of strong political organizations from both classes in Haiti has led to a power vacuum and the consequent failure of democratic institutions.
		Because it was published in 2002 it obviously does not discuss the most recent events in Haiti, but the book is a very useful tool in understanding what is going on in that country now.
