29. People are dying trying to leave Haiti

and just today the news had a very sad story about a boatload of Dominicans who were stranded trying to get to Puerto Rico. Let me ask you this; would you rather live in Haiti or Cuba? Or more to the point, who do you think fares better, the poor who live in Cuba, or any one of the "fledgling democracies" we have supported so vigerously in the Carribean and Central America?

Hell, I'm no fan of dictators, but all you have to do is look at the quality of life in Cuba versus El Salvadore or Guatamala.
