I was in Haiti in 1983 when I took a "Caribbean Culture class. Although it was an educational trip with memorable moments, the abject poverty was overwhelming. Jean Duvalier was president and people were afraid to speak out. Haiti could have been a gem in the Caribbean.

When the topic of Haiti is brought up, I always find it odd that the French aren't called out for their part in the plight of the people to date. The majority of what weighs Haiti down can be traced directly to France and the unwillingness of the American government to work along with a government of formerly enslaved people, America didn't want those still enslaved within it's boarders to see that it was possible to break the chains and truly be free.

The fact that it worked speaks to the evil of the US. The belief that Castro was was worse than Duvalier is sickening. Castro was a very grey historical figure.

His socialism did bring the Cuban people many benefits in things like education and healthcare but it ran into many problems, especially when the Soviets collapsed and couldn’t support him. Still, I’d take him over the tyrant of Haiti any day
