Sometimes people who want to understand Haiti from a political perspective may be missing part of the picture. They also need to look at Haiti from a psychological perspective. Most of the elite suffer from psychogenic amnesia. That means it's not organic amnesia, such as damage caused by brain injury. It's just a matter of psychology.
From Jean-Bertrand Aristide
I will work to bring peace to everyone - whatever economic level - as long as you are Haitian.
I am confident that I can serve my country without being involved as the president of the country now.
As we all know, many people remain buried under tons of rubble and debris, waiting to be rescued. When we think of their suffering, we feel deeply and profoundly that we should be there, in Haiti, with them, trying our best to prevent death.
As far as we are concerned, we are ready to leave today, tomorrow, at any time, to join the people of Haiti, to share in their suffering, help rebuild the country, moving from misery to poverty with dignity.
Of course, learning is strengthened and solidified when it occurs in a safe, secure and normal environment.
Peace in the head, peace in the stomach.
We have problems which will be addressed by Haitians.

The first time Haiti had free and fair democratic elections was 1990, when I was elected.
