At least not in Haiti, we're behind technically, thats another blog, anyways great post. Even If there were many Haitians to blog politically, doesn’t mean they’ll

The video nicely captures both the hope and the setbacks that Haitians experience.

I am Haitian and I recognize it, no need to hide it or pretend anything else, we are only fooling ourself by pretending otherwise. Images don't lie. Others may choose to pretend and overlook the facts, let me be extremely clear with all, I have lived in haiti, I have lived in other countries and I have travelled the world, Haiti is truly in bad shape. It is everything you see on TV and more: endless and object poverty, misery and ignorance.We, as Haitians have to realize that our so called leaders have failed us. Latortue, Aristide, Preval, Avril, Cedras, Duvalier...etc they have all failed.why? because of a winner takes all mentality that is still permeating every aspect of Haitian society. Let us not blame others for what is truly our own shortcomings. Haitian society is based on extreme raw survival at the expense of your fellow men. Decency, honesty and respect are not found in Haiti instead raw individualism, aggressivity, ignorance and selfisness abound. Is there any solution? time and time again, when faced with great dangers,human resiliency usually prevails. It will take a new breed of Haitian leaders to turn Haiti around. Haiti needs right now a Martin Luther King, a JFK and a Churchill mixed into one. Haiti needs a leader with vision who truly loves his country, a leader who will put the welfare of the island above any other agenda. We do not need a messianic figure or a strong man, Haiti needs a leader with vision and with a plan. But only when we as Haitians shock ourself silly then such leader will emerge. It takes sometimes catastrophic event for good people to emerge and I'm positive it is where we are headed but for now on, please let us not pretend to overlook the obvious: Haiti is a socioeconomic basket case. It is up to us to change this situation. The ball has been in our court for quite some time now...almost 200 yrs. R

There is more to Haiti than the CRAP you see on CNN. I am a proud card-carrying Haitian and i go to Haiti every chance I get - at least two timesa year. Whenever I come back here to the US, I'm usually planning my next trip back to Haiti and most Haitians feel the same. My country has problems but I LOVE it. Before a person can talk about Haiti, they need to first go there and experience the people, the music, the food and then and ONLY THEN can they give a report. I don't want to hear from who head straight to the slums and want to tell the world about it. When people come to visit NY do they head first to the ghetto in Harlem and use it as an example to represnt the US? NOT!!!
