    Haiti

    I don't know if my fellow members here have access to the Euro News channel. They are showing videos of what has been happening. Appears that the gangs are fighting each other and a group has raided a jail/prison (not sure what it was per the description) and released a very large number of prisoners. What I also noticed is that the video included both civilians and those that are either the police or military in uniform all have some nice AR's and or AK-47's. Whoever those in civilian garb happen to be, they are well armed. Anyone else happen to see this?
    Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

        If there was ever a poster child for failed state it's Haiti. It's probably even worse than The Sudan. it has no functioning government and hasn't had one for a very long time so the place is de facto ruled by gangs and war lords which are basically the same thing. People there who remember him are probably nostalgic for the Duvaliers, as awful as they were they at least led an actual government...sort of.
