Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide gives a speech at the opening of a book signing ceremony for his new book, 'Shalom 2004,' at the National Library in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on Friday, Jan. 17, 2003. January 1, 2004 will mark the 200th anniversary of Haiti, the world's first black republic, and Aristide has focused many of his recent speeches on the date. No serious presidents, de facto or not, have time to write books, especially in a country like Haiti, where the literacy rate is estimated to be 15 percent, and many streets of the capital, Port-au-Prince, have potholes big enough for cows to hide in.

Primitive totalitarian dictator, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the little brainless red man who wants to be author. Why does not he try to write about the thousands of Haitians he has murdered, including those he has defrauded?
