administration. It goes back to the early 1900s, and before that it was Europe. I've read that the U.S. propped up the Duvaliers (Papa Doc and Baby Doc) in one or another as well. I do remember Reagan condemning the younger Duvalier after his lavish wedding.
My remembrance of history may be faulty, but I lived in Miami for three years in the 1980's and met many Haitians. They were extremely kind and very grateful to be in America, but they also were worried about their relatives and their country.
