form a Haitian Corps - Send them to Iraq and Afghanistan
Robertson has no clue. Haiti is a Christian country. Why do they even invite Robertson to comment, except to make a fool out of himself.
Here's a hint: when everyone swears by everything that they'll never sin again, you're in the first lap of the Indy 500.
.. uh, well.. not quite yet. There are still slaves to be freed.
When the horror has been dealt with and recovery is in progress perhaps Haitians might google, Haiti slavery children, and start dealing with another horror.
While they're at it they may as well clean up ongoing horrors of a corrupt society and criminal rulers also.
As I said on another thread if they didn’t make a pact with the Devil they certainly have the worst karma of any country in the Carribean. They can’t catch a break for anything.
And why the disparity between Haiti and the Dominican Republic?
Its all bad voodoo.....
While the loss of sugar income from Haiti was a problem, the sale of Lousiana to the U.S. was a done deal due more to Napoleon’s need for cash for his European wars and his realization that he couldn’t defend Lousiana against Spain, the U.K. and the U.S. If Napoleon had been a little less agressive against the other European powers, he could have easily re-taken Haiti, and Iowans might be speaking French.
Well...considering that after they overthrew the slaveholders, the participants went on a bloody two month long killing spree against the entire white population of the island including the rape of children, impaling and dismemberment of their victims' bodies, and even a few instances of cannibalism, I'd say they more or less negated any favor they otherwise earned in that regard.
Detroit is a perfect example.
