Wikileaks and Haiti

As I read more about the way the Haitian elite used the national military and the police as their own private security force after the removal of Aristide I get angry and sick. From where I sit, Haiti has never had a chance at a real future.  Going all the way back to having to pay France for the value of their slave labor and the property left behind when the slaves kicked their ass, and arriving at the latest indignity which involves, once again, the powerful sticking it to the powerless.  In the same way that Wikileaks was a major factor in the start of the Arab Spring, my hope is that eventually the right people will get angry enough over these state department secret cables that we will demand that those who act in our name finally do the right thing by Haiti. And what is the right thing?  All the stuff stupid people don't want to see happen.  Debt forgiveness, real training of the police so that the rule of law is respected, and land reform so that there is finally an end to 1% of the population owning 99% of the land.  Although if things don't change in this country, within the next decade we may have the same problem right here in the land of the free.
