Haiti and the US

Ray Wahl - May 3 2011, 11:47 PM

Dear Mr.President,

I was in Haiti in April 2011 with a team of 12 to build a church structure in Lavanneau and to assist another church in Port-Au-Prince.

We loved to be with the Haitians.

What a resilient and beautiful people in spite of living in tragic conditions.

When I came home I ordered and am reading Damming the Flood, Haiti and the Politics of Containment by the British author, Peter Hallward.

What sickens me to this day is to learn of the evil that the white, wealthy and powerful countries, especially the United States (Canada and France too)have perpetrated upon the impoverished in Haiti, all for the greed of its own corporations, the elite in Haiti and the US's desire to play God in the world.

One day God will punish the US for its Satanic role it has played to keep the Haitians down.

I have learned much about Lavalas and its past president JB Aristide.

What a blessing for Haiti to have had such a man as their leader.

May you follow in his spirit to help the poor and needy in your country.

You will not be successful if you play to another crowd and isolate the impoverished.

I will pray for his safety in Haiti and for you not to capitulate to the scheming, lying and corrupt American government.

I plan to continue my study of Haitian history and to come back to Haiti to assist other churches in their reconstruction programs.

Some day God will more richly bless Haiti as it continues on the road to recovery and democracy.

Blessings
