General Discussion

Anarchy, gangs, and warlords took charge of both failed countries. But Haiti and Iran were propped up by the West. Papa Doc and the Shah lived in riches while their security services stamped out dissent. I can't recall if the last Somalian supremo was a satrap or if he lived and ate in luxury while his people suffered.

Either way, Haiti is a tragedy and an unintended consequence of the "Monroe Doctrine."
