As Buddhism is about compassion, we need to know more about the
real story of Haiti's destruction. Some of us are old enough to
remember what was going on between the US and Haiti in the '70s
and after, but you won't get it from newspapers, network TV or
CNN.  This article is about how Port au Prince got that way, as
of today.

Remember Papa Doc Duvalier?  Baby Doc? the IMF?
The neo-cons are still at it:
