IN RELATION TO EDITORIAL POSTED IN FRENCH ON CARL’S CORNER’S THURSDAY 22 FEB 2007
(Une certaine gauche haitienne by Jacques Yvon Pierre).
From Hippolite Pierre
HPierre@irsp.org
Dear Carl,
What a find !!!!!!!!! This is quite personal, however.
Jacque Yvon Pierre is a very, very, very good friend of mine (un ami
d'enfance, as we say in Haiti). This may sound weird to you but, we haven't
been communicating since 1985, shortly after I came to the States. We'd lost
contact after his mother's death. I am so glad he is okay.
Every time I go to Haiti, I try to find him but can't, or couldn't. I am now
glad that you did send ud this text of his, which shows that he has not lost
his extraordinary intelligence.
Is there any way you can help me find his email address? I didn't see it in
the body of his text. I am desperate to communicate with him.
Friends lost, friends found!! What would we do without Carl Fombrun? This
one, at least to me, was a very good Haitian zen.
Let me know.
Very best to you,
Hyppolite
MY ANSWER
Dear Hyppolite,
I am posting your letter in the hope that Jacques Yvon Pierre will read it and send you his e-mail address; I do not have it, and this was sent to me on the internet. It was a pleasure to hear from you again, after such a long time, you were certainly turning into a ghost or a…zombi.
All the best,
Carl
FROM HIPPOLITE
Ha!Ha!I'm getting old and rounchy.
So I prefer staying on the sideline. Thanks very much for your help, Carl.
Very best to you,
HP
FROM CARL
Hang in there, Hippolite. And what would I say ! ?

The west may yet come to regret its bullying of Russia
Putin has no interest in a new cold war and is struggling to modernise his economy. Yet he is rebuffed and insulted
Simon Jenkins in Moscow Wednesday February 21, 2007 The Guardian
Countries too have feelings. So I am told by a Russian explaining the recent collapse in relations between Vladimir Putin and his one-time western admirers. "We have done well in the past 15 years, yet we get nothing but rebuffs and insults. Russia's rulers have their pride, you know."
The truth is that Putin, like George Bush and Tony Blair, has an urgent date with history. He can plead two terms as president in which he has stabilised, if not deepened, Russian democracy, forced the pace of economic modernisation, suppressed Chechen separatism and yet been remarkably popular. But leaders who dismiss domestic critics crave international opinion, and are unaccustomed to brickbats. Hence Putin's outburst at the Munich security conference this month, when he announced he would "avoid extra politesse" and speak his mind.
Putin's apologists ask that he be viewed as victim of an epic miscalculation by the west. Here is a hard man avidly courted at first by Bush, Blair and other western leaders. After 9/11 he tolerated US intervention along his southern border with bases north of Afghanistan. Yet when he had similar trouble in Chechnya, he was roundly abused. When he induced Milosevic to leave Kosovo (which he and not "the bombing" did), he got no thanks.
When Putin sought to join Nato in the 1990s he was rebuffed. Then Nato broke its post-cold-war promise and advanced its frontier through the Baltics and Poland to the Black Sea. It is now planning missile defences in Poland and the Czech Republic and is flirting with Ukraine and Georgia. Against whom is this directed, asks Putin.
The west grovels before Opec, but when Putin proposes a gas Opec it cries foul. America seizes Iraq's oil, but when Putin nationalises Russia's oil that, too, is a foul. Meanwhile, every crook, every murdered Russian, every army scandal is blazoned across the western press. True, Russia is still a klepto-oligarchy that steps back as often as forward, but what of America's pet Asian democracies, Afghanistan and Iraq?
In his Munich speech Putin asked why America constantly goes on about its "unipolar world". Does Washington really seek a second cold war? Russia is withdrawing from Georgia and Moldova. Why is Nato advancing bases in Bulgaria and Romania? The west is handling Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran with the arrogance and ineptitude of 19th-century imperialists. Is it surprising Russia is seeking allies where it can, in China, India, Iran and the Gulf?
At an Anglo-Russian conference in Moscow last weekend I was bemused by the talk of a return to "east-west" confrontation. Diplomats have a habit of listing complaints like marriage counsellors inviting couples to catalogue what most irritates them about each other. The list seems endless, but it surely points to a proper talk rather than a divorce. Don't they really need each other after all?
Having visited Russia three times since the demise of the Soviet Union, I remain impressed by its progress. Debate and comment are open. Russia is not squandering its energy wealth but setting $100bn aside in an infrastructure fund. The links between Russia and western business are worth $30bn in inward investment. Cultural and educational contacts are strengthening. Moscow and St Petersburg are booming world cities, their skylines thick with cranes.
The west views pluralist democracy as so superior that any state coming to it fresh must surely welcome it with open arms. When there is backsliding, as in former Yugoslavia, Ukraine, Russia and parts of Africa, let alone the Arab world, the west behaves like a peevish car salesman whose client has not obeyed the repair manual. If the west can do fair elections, market capitalism, press freedom and regional secession - after a mere two centuries of trial and error - why can newly free states not do them overnight?
The tough response to Putin is easy. It is the one he has from Washington and Nato. We won the cold war. You lost. Shut up. If, as Russia's top general said last week, you want to withdraw from the intermediate-range nuclear forces treaty, then withdraw. If you think gas and oil enables you to play the superpower again, see what happens. Bush and Blair may be screwing up "Islamistan", but their successors will be more canny. Our defence budget is bigger than yours and we have you surrounded.
All this makes for good realpolitik. But what Putin actually said in Munich reflected not belligerence but puzzlement at the aggressive course of western diplomacy. In the old days, he said, "there was an equilibrium and a fear of mutual destruction. In those days one party was afraid to make an extra step without consulting the others. This was certainly a fragile peace and a frightening one, but seen from today it was reliable enough. Today it seems that peace is not so reliable."
Putin is hardly seeking a return to the certainties of the cold war. He has no more interest than the west in stirring the hornet's nest of Islamic nationalism, stretching as it does deep into Russian territory. His desire for "ever closer union" with Europe and Nato after 1997 was sincere and was surely welcome.
While Putin appears to have been conducting his diplomacy over the past decade from weakness and the west from strength, the reverse has been nearer the truth. Britain and America have been led by essentially reactive politicians with no grasp of history. A terrorist outrage or a bombastic speech and they change policy on the hop. When Bush and Blair go, they will leave a world less secure and more divided in its leadership than when they arrived. Their dismissive treatment of Russia's recovery from cold war defeat has been the rhetoric of natural bullies.
Russia and the west have everything to gain from good relations. Putin has struggled to modernise his economy while holding together a traumatised and shrunken Russian federation. The west may feel he errs towards authoritarianism, but second-guessing Russian leaders is seldom a profitable exercise. This is a huge country, rich in natural and human resources. It is hard to think of somewhere the west would be better advised to "hug close". Instead, Putin will hand his successor an isolated and bruised nation. Under a less confident president, it could retreat into protectionism and alliances the west will hate. To have encouraged that retreat is truly stupid
Top US official says US won't change policy toward Cuba
By Antonio Rodriguez
WASHINGTON, USA (AFP): A top US administration official insisted on Wednesday Washington had no intention of changing its policy toward communist Cuba, whose centerpiece is a 45-year-old, unilateral trade embargo.
US Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez. AFP PHOTO "We believe passionately that our policy is correct," said Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, who co-chairs the official Commission for Assistance to a Free Cuba.
"It is naive to suggest that lifting US economic sanctions would weaken the regime and force change," he said in a speech in which he sharply denounced Cuba's communist government.
Speaking at a conference organized by the Council of the Americas think-tank, Gutierrez said the Cuban government is the one that needed to implement reforms.
"This is not about US policy, this is not about the US having to change. We need to clarify that the change that needs to take place is in Cuba," said Gutierrez, the most senior Cuban-American official in the George W. Bush administration.
Several lawmakers have urged Washington to ease the trade and economic sanctions that officially aim at promoting democratic reform in Cuba.
But Gutierrez made it clear the US administration did not believe the handover of power from President Fidel Castro to his younger brother Raul had led to any significant changes in Cuba.
Fidel Castro, 80, announced on July 31 that he had undergone intestinal surgery and "provisionally" handed power to his 75-year-old brother, Cuba's defense minister and longtime number two.
Cuban officials have said the president's recovery is going well, but have given few details of his exact medical condition. It remains unclear whether Fidel Castro eventually would eventually resume his functions.
As acting president, Raul Castro twice called for dialogue with the United States, but Washington, which dismissed him as "Castro light" and insisted Cuba must first adopt democratic reforms.
"We are doing everything we can to get the message out that it would be a tragic mistake to recognize a successor regime in Cuba," said Gutierrez.
He denounced what he called "the exploitation and brutal repression" of Cubans, whom he called as "the last plantation workers in Latin America.
"We should compare the situation for average Cubans with the situation for the average of North Koreans," Gutierrez said.
"To compare the changes that have taken place in China over 27 years to the conditions in Cuba, I think is the wrong comparison. I would compare Cuba and put Cuba in the same league as North Korea. But not China," he said.
Chavez sends Brazil sulfur for 'devil' Bush visit
Venezuela (Reuters): Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who mocked George W. Bush as the devil in a UN speech, said on Wednesday he was sending sulfur to Brazil for the US president's visit there next month.
During a tour of an oil reserve with his Argentine counterpart Nestor Kirchner, Chavez held up a small vial of the pale-yellow element and said he would send to their fellow leftist ally and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
Echoing his mock complaint last year at the UN General assembly, that the podium reeked of the substance after a Bush speech, Chavez said, "It smells of sulfur here, comrade."
"I am going to send this vial to Lula for when the little gentleman comes so that he can place it out there in Brasilia," Chavez said with a laugh.
Venezuela says Bush hopes to divide the region and try to turn allies against Chavez during a tour next month of several Latin American countries, including economic and diplomatic powerhouse Brazil.
The United States, which clashes with Chavez over everything from free trade to democracy to arms sales, says it seeks to work with partners in the region but that Venezuela has repeatedly refused to cooperate over such issues as drugs.
Despite the antagonism, Venezuela is the No. 4 supplier of crude to the United States, which in turn is the OPEC nation's top customer.

QUELQUES EXTRAITS DE NOTES RECUES DU
DR. ROGER QUALO
Hello Carl,
Coment cela va? Et ton monde?
J’écoutais une émission baladodiffusée de la Radio Extérieure d’Espagne, intitulée « Vanguardia de la Sciencia. » Dans cette émission, il est dit que le foie est le seul organe du corps qui soit capable de se régénérer, un bon point pour les alcooliques.
Le foie n’est, néammoins, pas la seule cellule du corps capable de se régénérer. Malgré ceci, il me serait difficile d’enlever le foie des organes nobles, car il a une fonction vraiment importante et et nul ne peut vivre sans le foie. Les transplantations de foie ne sont également pas pour demain, mais qui sait? C’est toute la définition d’un organe noble qu’il faudrait repenser. Celui-ci serait un organe des plus essentiels ou indispensable à l’organisme, à la différence de l’estomac, de nos intestins et de nos bras, par exemple…
Il est étonnant de voir combien le monde ne réalise pas ce qu'est la nature. Point n'est besoin de se demander pourquoi on lui fait tant de tort. Jusqu'a présent, la majorité des gens pensent que la nature a été créée par un être surnaturel. Même des scientistes et des gens qui ont fait des études scientifiques avancées ne réalisent vraiment pas ce qu'est la nature. Un des points de confusion est la théorie du "Big Bang" (la Grande Explosion) de l'univers et l'observation de son expansion par le "red shift" (déviation doppler vers le rouge) de la lumière des galaxies.
La nature, ai-je écrit, dans un mes textes sur la cosmologie, est éternelle. Elle ne se réduit pas à ce que nous voyons ni même à ce que nous comprenons ou connaissons d'elle. Une grande part de la nature échappe à nos observations et, dès lors, vraisemblablement à notre connaissance, c'est la grande "singularité" de Stephen Hawking. La nature n'a pas besoin d'un créateur; elle est elle-même la grande créatrice de l'univers, de tout ce qui existe dans le monde. Le monde vieillit et disparaitra un jour, mais la nature sera toujours là pour créer un nouveau monde. La nature se rajeunit ainsi constamment, mais la nature elle-même ne connaît pas de limite, alors que l'univers peut bien en connaître un. En fait, la constante cosmologique d'Einstein, son erreur capitale, est la constante naturelle, mais non en ce sens que la nature ne change pas mais en celui qu'elle ne mourra pas.
"Mais la Nature est là qui t'invite et qui t'aime" nous dit le poète Lamartine, "Plonge toi dans son sein qu'elle t'ouvre toujours". L'action créatrice de la Nature n'a pas, à prime abord, de finalité; elle n'est pas l'oeuvre d'une intelligence supérieure, comme quelques scientistes peuvent le penser, mais, en fin de compte, toutes les créations de la nature ne sont pas durables et perfectionables. Un grande nombre sont tres futiles et passagères, d'autres durent et évoluent. C'est ainsi que la Nature atteint sa finalité qui la rend accessible et compréhensible mais qui la font prêter par certains une action intentionelle. L'action créatrice de la Nature, obéit, en grande partie à la loi du hazard, une autre partie obéit à celle de l'évolution des structures et à la sélection "naturellle", mais à rien de surnaturel.
A bientôt. Porte toi bien et milite pour la Nature.
Roger.
VIVRE EN DIASPORA
par Ralph Germain
(tiré de son dernier livre ÉVITEZ DE BLESSER LE COEUR)
À tous les frères connus ou pas d’Haiti
Pour qui la chance n’a pas encore souri,
Je soujhaite du tréfonds du cœur du courage,
Et ceci, quels que soient leur situation ou âge.
Au nom de l’union qui nous a toujours marqués,
Aujourd’hui plus que jamais, je viens vous parler :
Vous qui pour, pour une quelconque raison fatale,
Êtes forcés de laisser la terre natale,
Afin de pouvoir échapper à la misère
Qui vous dévore comme le feu de l’enfer,
Ou laisser enfin le champ libre à ces « chimères »,
De plus en plus avides du beau billet vert,
J’ai une bien fervente prière pour vous.
Devant notre Dieu, elle veut dire beaucoup.
En effet, vous qui évoluez tout bonnement,
Dans ce grand et attirant environnement,
Souvent dénommé dixième département,
Prenez un petit temps pour vous interroger.
Oui ! Il est important que vous vous demandiez :
Étant sur le sol étranger, c’est quoi je veux ?
Cette question étant posée faites ce vœu :
« J’ai laissé mon pays, en vue d’un changement.
Qu’il soit, Ô mon Dieu effectif totalement,
Par la foi que j’ai en Toi, positivement. »
Cela dit, ne discutez pas de vos affaires,
Aux hypocrites à marmotter: “ I don’t care ! »
Alors, il revient à vous de bien entrevoir,
Ici, qu’est-ce qui représente le pouvoir ?
Vous serez bornés de vivre que de pourboires…
Je ne dis pas cela afin de vous déplaire,
Mais, pour bien vous rappeler les devoirs à faire,
Pour porter les dénigreurs un jour à se taire.
En ce sens donc, s’il faut toucher du doigt la plaie,
Doit on considérer avec sérieux les faits :
Le premier fait de nous une minorité,
A qui l’on n’accorde aucune priorité.
Que vous enquêtez sur les cas judiciaires,
Ou chercher à travers le système scolaire,
Comprenez que vous êtes loin d’être bien vus,
Pour n’avoir pas été, frères, les bienvenus.
De plus, ces comportements contre nous tenus,
Sont dûs aussi aux attitudes tolérantes,
Des responsables aux actions incompétentes.
Est-ce pourquoi seulement sur le bout des doigts
Nous pensons compter tous ceux-là qui font le poids,
Et savoir ainsi de qui écouter la voix.
Mes frères! Que cela vous porte à réfléchir,
Si vous comptez perfas et néfas réussir.
En ce sens, quelques conseils à vous prodiguez :
Le premier est le respect des lois promulguées.
Ensuite, évitez la drogue et l’alcool,
Pour retrouver plutôt le chemin de l’école.
Faites en sorte de ne jamais serrer la main,
A l’oncle Sam, ni aujourd’hui non plus demain.
En plus, sachez, qu’en tout il y a un début,
Et que les difficultés y sont pour un but.
Ainsi, vous saurez combien dur il faut frapper,
Et aussi ce que ca prend pour vraiment foncer.
Que vous vivez seul ou formez une famille,
Vous ne devez pratiquer qu’un signe :
Le positif, pour résoudre tous les problèmes,
Présentés devant vous, avec ou sans theorême.
Même si là-bas ils pensent qu’en diaspora,
Nous ne faisons que mener une vie de rois,
Ayez quand même une pensée d’amour pour eux,
Afin qu’un jour le frère cesse d’être envieux…
Voilà, en gros ce que c’est vivre en diaspora :
Se sacrifier pour l’autre et pour soi à la foi !
EXISTE-T-IL UNE
CUISINE HAITIENNE ?
par Rolande Valmé Thévenin et Paule St. Eloi Alexis
(tiré de leur dernier livre L’ODYSSÉE DE LA CUISINE HAITIENNE)
Comme tout groupement humain, le peuple haitien possède des us et coutumes intrinsèques à la notion « société », quelque sommaire, banale, et précaire que puisse paraître l’existence de cette nation toujours en difficulté.
On est le produit de son environnement géographique, climatique, physique et génétique. L’Haitien est insulaire, tropical, montagnard, avec un héritage ethnique composé de différentes races, peuplades et tribus. Historiquement, il est le descendant d’un fabuleux mélange qui compte des éléments très divers : l’Indien (ou plutôt l’Amérindien) l’Espagnol, l’Africain, le Français,l’Anglais sont ses ancêtres. Aztèques,, Ciboneys, Arrawaks, Tainos, Maures, Turcs, Bretons, Lorrains,
Nagos, Ibos, Congos, Muskusu, Irlandais, Écossais, etc. Laquelle ou lesquelles de ces races et de ces tribus ont inspiré, faconné ses goûts culinaires.

EN EL RINCON DE DON CARLOS
FLOR DE FUEGO
Siento arder el sol en mi interior,
me hierve en la sangre y me quema las venas.
Dicen que es la flama del amor,
que se enciende en medio de las penas.
Inmenso como la eternidad es su calor,
ni la fragua ni el infierno arden con tanto furor.
Y siento en lo más profundo que viene de una doncella,
debe ser tu amada, porque eres la más bella.
Con la tea de tu ternura y nobleza lo has prendido,
ni uniendo la mar con lagunas y ríos,
Un diluvio y los vientos huracanados más fríos,
podrán apagar este amor que has encendido.
Siento derramarse todos mis buenos sentimientos,
son como un volcán es erupción.
Lava que quema pero no daña y no entiendo,
debe ser mi cáliz repleto de ilusión.
Es la copa que esta en su plenitud,
A ciegas beberé de lo que hay en su interior.
Sea dulce ámbar de amor, o almud,
sea delicioso veneno o el elixir para mi dolor.
Esta llama crece sin tregua,
no deja espacio para la ceniza.
Es la fuerza de Dios que no mengua,
y todo lo que haga daño lo pulveriza.
Es tu amor amada, ebrio de locura,
ha revivido algo que muerto estaba.
Vivía sin vida, en amargura,
no había sentido, no soñaba.
Pero ahora es un volcán es erupción,
tu amor lo ha encendido,
flor de fuego que se llama corazón.
