Washington dictates terms to devastated Haiti

[Bush, Clinton visit Port-au-Prince](http://www.wsws.org/articles/2010/mar2010/hait-m24.shtml)

>The attitude of the Haitian people to the visitors was a mixture of hostility and indifference. Bush, in particular, is hated for the US role in the 2004 coup that removed President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and exiled him to South Africa. Clinton, while posturing as a “friend” of Haiti, is identified with a policy of opening the Haitian market to foreign competition that devastated the country’s agriculture. He is now the UN special envoy to Haiti.
