Haiti's not a part of the U.S. We're not repsonsible for how things are run there or what's going on there. Of course we can provide aid and assistance, which I'm sure we are in some way, but there's only so much that the U.S. can do. We TOO have problems of our own to take care of including poverty and instability.\n\n\nHowever, there are ties to the U.S.\n\nHaiti has always been one of the poorest countries in the Americas. Much of this is due to post-independence schemes of the former colonial power- France. In 1838, the French agreed to recognize Haitian independence under the condition that Haiti pay 150 million francs (worth several billion dollars today) as an indemnity for the loss suffered by French slave owners in the loss of their slaves and plantations. Unable to make payments, Haiti, in an attempt to win international acceptance, was forced to seek loans totaling some seventy million francs. Not until 1862 did the United States finally recognize Haiti as a sovereign nation, and send diplomatic representation. Through the 19th century it was ruled by a series of dictators of varying degrees of incompetence. The outside world took little notice until 1915, when the country's unpayable debt led to American occupation.

The worst things that have happened lately is in the country of Rwanda. A genocide in where 800,000 people, including women and children were viciously tortured, raped, beaten and killed.\n\nRwanda was a Belgium colony before being Rwanda. In order to have more effective control over their dominions they divided all people in two distinct social classes: HUTUS and TUTSIS, they are slightly different.\n\nThey cruelly decided to give TUTSIS all the priviledges, best posts, best housing, best everything, and the price was to be loyal to the Belgian authorities, they even were the Belgian police. \n\nAnd to the HUTUS they treated them like animals, by means of the TUTSIS.\n\nWhen the Belgians left, the country became chaos, ridled with Civil war between this artificially created difference in races.\n\nAfter the assasination of a HUTU president, all hell broke loose, the HUTU government, backed of by the Interhamwe, an illegal militia of killers, began sistematically killing every TUTSI they saw, and very viciously.\n\nBecause Rwanda did not have any important economic interests with no big power, and it did not have any major power country as a friend, no one intervened in helping stop this slaughter, even the UN and our country, the United States, turned their backs on them. NO ONE helped.\nYou can rent the movie Hotel Rwanda. It is very clear there what happened. \n\nThe United States did not want to participate do to the recent memory of what happened to the military personnel we had in Somalia in 1992 (you can see it in the movie BLACK HAWK DOWN), a terrible tragedy for us....\na big tragedy for US soldiers.

What type of Vodou are you talking about. From your spelling are you asking about New Orleans voodoo? Are you asking about Haitian Vodou? Dominican Republic Veinte-Uno Divisiones? Vodoun in West Africa? \n\nIf you are interested in Haitian Vodou you can check the website of the humfort I belong to. A list of articles written by Mambo. This is a house in the U.S, that follows Haitian regleman. http://www.sosyetedumarche.com/vodou_inf...\n\nYou can also check our the site of my Mambo initiatory Mama. Her house is in Jacmel, Haiti. http://members.aol.com/racine125/index1.... \n\np.s. There is no end on the world in Vodou.  Our destiny as humans is to live, die, and go to Ginen to be with God until we are called from the waters to help our family.

Yes. Since Haiti's two official languages are Creole and French, and French is a latin language while the haitian Creole widely derives from French. So, technically Haiti is part of Latin America. \nAnd also, more officially, Haiti is part of the Latin Union (UL) (http://www.unilat.org/info_fr/membre/membre.html).(Now if that does not make us part of latin America nothing will)

Socialism is causing massive death, poverty, AIDS and slavery in the third world.  Because they have chosen to embrace marxist values, they are doomed.  This process is well underway, especially in africa and haiti.
