From the Paper:

"In the March 02 2004 issue of Foreign Policy in Focus, Conn Hallinan suggested that the French who colonized it and the Americans who occupied it and exploited it bear some responsibility for the fact that Haiti is such a basket case. Hallinan claims that since colonialism has "smashed up the world, deliberately squelched economic progress by the colonized, drew arbitrary lines on maps, and sowed the dragon's teeth of ethnic division and uneven development," that nations cannot simply shake their heads over "failed states," and walk away (Hallinan pp)."
