   You're right on the money, Heather– I like your comments. And thanks, Mr Cooper; Haiti will be forever grateful. Thanks for 'keeping them honest.' I'll see you tonight!

   Thank you so much for this interview. Former President Clinton did a fabulous job of providing very realistic, extremely fair, nonjudgemental answers to concerns that a lot of people have. I was especially thrilled to see Anderson ask him about the 'Customs' situation. I have been volunteering with a number of groups for whom the 20% tax has posed a significant problem. That said, they have so few options available to them for generating revenue. We often forget that Haiti is a country that has not only been repeatedly 'raped' by its own government and people, but has been victimized extensively by other nations as well. That there might be a number of deeply rooted trust issues at play here, is something that we should come to expect as well.
