Ja: Maybe the U.S. isn't so bad

The current cat-and-mouse game being played out which has led to strained relations between the present dispensation in Haiti and the United States government does not augur well for us as a country and can only be justified if indeed all along Aristide, the angel, has been speaking the truth and it is the United States that has been the devil in this scenario.

The unfortunate thing is that Aristide's presence may well be the Patterson administration's latest act of distraction as "Rome burns". And if this is so, then Prime Minister PJ Patterson must be reminded rather forcefully that you can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all the people all the time.

The current imbroglio surrounding Jean Bertrand Aristide's sojourn in Jamaica must be seen against this background and not be narrowed down into an anti-Bush campaign. The bottom line is that America has been good to this country in many ways. It can also be successfully argued that America on occasions has been a big, bad bully and has only looked out for its self-interest.

Hey, thanks, dude. Read the rest for yourself.
