Haiti

Is anyone else following the news story of Baby Doc Duvalier's return to Haiti? I'm finding it fascinating.

While I recognise that he still has his friends in Haiti, I'm surprised he wasn't lynched the minute he stepped off the plane.

In fact, if he makes it out of Haiti alive, I'll be surprised. There are Too Damn Many People out there that suffered under him and his daddy for him to be safe for any length of time.

OTOH, if a shitload of corporate dollars flows in to put him in charge and keep him there (using the reasoning of "He may be a son-of-a-bitch, but he's our son-of-a-bitch!"), that wouldn't surprise me much either.

He is one insane motherfucker. I am really surprised the cops didn't just take him out behind the hotel and put several in the back of his head.

it poses some watching for sure.

I'm interested, but not dialed in.
