In response to Lauredansr

I agree with your comments up to the line where you are proud of her 
accomplishments.  But when you mentioned unfounded profanities, you are doing 
exactly what she did. Firstly, she cannot ignore that her husband was killed by 
Aristide and Preval knew about it.  He could not do anything about it as he was 
Aristide's puppet.  Can you say that these are profanities? Secondly, isn't it 
true that Montas's life was threatened and her bodyguard killed so much that 
she had to flee to the States.  Isn't it true that the Government of Haiti 
contacted the President of the General Assembly, then from Barbados to 
negotiate a job for Montas, thus her position was  paid by the Haitian 
Government, the same who killed her husband?  Isn't it true that the United 
Nations send a Fax to the Haitian Government (Latortue to request payment of 
Montas salary after the departure of Aristide) and said salary was paid by the 
Latortue Government to honour the previous government's engagement. Isn't it
 true that when Aristide came to speak in front of the General Assembly, Ms. 
Montas lined up to salute him and during one of their meeting, Montas asked 
Aristide whether he would guarantee her security if she returns to Haiti and 
Aristide's response to her was NO.  What we don't understand is why she 
continued to support Aristide or Preval after her husband was murdered by those 
mobs.  If these are profanities, you can ask Mrs. Montas yourself.  Apart from 
that, we are indeed proud that one of us has been selected for such a high 
level position.  It is a great honour just like the Governor of Canada.  I 
would have liked that Montas distance herself  form her husband's murderers and 
admit the damages that Aristide has done to the country rather than defending 
the lavalas movement which did worst than Duvalier in a shorter time.  An act 
of courage would have also been to admit that she and her husband have made 
huge mistakes joining the dreadful lavalas movement.  Perhaps she
 feared for her life and did not want to take chances by turning against 
Aristide openly,  a stand that we can understand if that is the case.  Perhaps 
she had other reasons.  But  to say that these facts  are profanities - show 
how passionate that we can be in our analysis - our constant deviation from the 
truth to suit our own purpose.  It never crosses your mind that I just might 
know her as much as you do but for me, the truth should be at the basis of any 
discussion.
