DOES HAITI REALLY WANT THIS KIND OF HELP???
An interesting story in today's Lakeland Ledger about a visit from Haiti's interim Prime Minister Gerald Latoutue with Jeb! in Tallahassee Monday, where a report was released from a commission he appointed suggesting that Florida and it's growing Hatian-American community help the impoverished nation.
Many of the suggestions are very good, as Haiti needs a great deal of help after the hellacious days of Aristide. However, I just have to mention one of the suggestions here:
Florida should provide assistance with Haitian elections planned in November, possibly including observers to ensure they are fair.
Certainly, on the face of it, it's a very worthy idea. But considering recent elections controversies in the Sunshine State, the folks in Port-au-Prince would need to ask themselves if they REALLY want THAT KIND of help from Glenda Hood and her cronies????? Maybe they should look at an example that has slightly less baggage???
