Haitians just can’t get a break. Bernard Gousse, Martelly’s nominee for Prime Minister, was a particularly evil “justice” minister in the illegal government of Gerard Latortue who was anointed by the 2004 “coup team” of US-France-Canada, a move that violated the Haitian constitution.

You must be arrogant, duplicitous, condescending and, when dealing with certain countries like Haiti, you must treat the people and their government officials like children.
