Or, even more true, the Dominican Republic has arguably been mettled with by the United States far more than Haiti has, yet the DR is beverly hills compared to Haiti. Up until the middle of the 1800's haiti actually occupied the DR as a foreign invader. so before you start criticizing the US again you should look a little more deeply into that island's history instead of resorting to your generic, typical and cliched anti Americanism

Haiti used to be the worlds top supplier of sugar years ago. now they have only 2% of their country forested. lack of arable land leads to economic chaos in a country that has only known angriculture.11 Bravo wrote:
what do we use haiti for? cuba is for cigars so...what? PR is for rum.
that's actually a really good idea11 Bravo wrote:
