“BUSH WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR DESTROYING HAITIAN DEMOCRACY”–RANDALL ROBINSON ON OBAMA TAPPING BUSH TO CO-CHAIR US RELIEF EFFORTS
We speak with TransAfrica founder Randall Robinson, author of
An Unbroken Agony: Haiti, from Revolution to the Kidnapping of a President. On President Obama tapping former President Bill Clinton and former President George W Bush to co-chair US relief efforts in Haiti, Robinson says, “Bush was responsible for destroying Haitian democracy…Clinton has largely sponsored a program of economic development that supports the idea of sweatshops… but that is not what we should focus on now. We should focus on saving lives.” (
