No Land Is "Cursed"

Why do you feel that "Haiti's cursed" and that little will ever get done there politically?

There are other countries that have suffered the same process of colonization, imposed poverty and frequent coups d'etat where, today, much is occuring, and positively, in the political-democratic realm... Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, to name three. Bolivia is likewise interesting, among others.

I don't think any land is cursed. These matters are not "cosmic" or "karmic." It's a matter of what people do that makes history. So I'd be interested in hearing more about why you feel that way, so we can have a clearer basis to discuss it.

All co-publishers comment under their real name, have contributed resources or volunteer labor to this project, have filled out this application and agreed to some simple guidelines about commenting.

Narco News has recently opened its comments section for submissions to moderated comments (that’s this box, here) by everybody else. More than 95 percent of all submitted comments are typically approved, because they are on-topic, coherent, don’t spread false claims or rumors, don’t gratuitously insult other commenters, and don’t engage in commerce, spam or otherwise hijack the thread. Narco News reserves the right to reject any comment for any reason, so, especially if you choose to comment anonymously, the burden is on you to make your comment interesting and relevant. That said, as you can see, hundreds of comments are approved each week here. Good luck in your comment submission!
