Charismatic pop star-turned-president Michel Martelly takes over Haiti on Saturday promising to rebuild its earthquake-devastated capital, develop the long-neglected countryside and build a modern army.

    I guess its a change from electing rapers in politics. That was haiti right? I'm sure pop stars are more qualified to be running a country.

    Haiti will not develop alone, anyone with a brain runs away.

    A president won't make a difference in this morbid political culture.

    If Haiti does want to stabilize, it's best if they emulates high growth African nations such as Ghana, Namibia, Botswana, or Ethiopia. They offer a decent path to success for a nation with no industrial base or sizable educated middle or elite class.
