| When Aristide took over, the United States at once turned against his government and U.S. aid dropped. For example, the U.S. aid organizations never provided a penny to the peasant organizations, and Haiti is after all a peasant country. Their aid goes to wealthy manufacturers. This is absolutely consistent with U.S. policy everywhere else in the world, in fact even in the United States, where the general population is considered a sort of enemy which has no role in the political system, it is supposed to watch from the outside. The political system is to be run by privileged sectors and in the third world this is just transparent, Haiti is an extreme example of it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
