I wonder how many folks know much about the forced labour during the 19 year US occupation of Haiti.

Thanks for bringing up Smedley. I was a kid in Panama, CZ for four years. I consider those years heaven now. I was down there during the riots and those memories changed my view over time. My family traveled up from CZ and I remember the Village of Chichicastenango in Guatemal as being a magical place and the Mayans there as very intelligent and could understand me without language. Later I found out that Chichicastenango was part of the massacre areas and so the people I met there were either killed or herded into camps, brutalized, and force fed Christianity. Reagan endorsed the President of Guatemala who caused the massacres and called him a "fine Christian man".
