Carl Dix, of the Revolutionary Communist Party, on the role of US imperialism: why the US isn't doing, and cannot do, any good for the Haitian people. As people around the world are trying to send help to Haiti, the US has been sabotaging relief efforts while it amasses a force of 10,000 military personnel. ????? Jeb Sprague, a journalist who has written extensively on Haiti, will be talking about the impact of capitalist globalization and forced austerity measures on the Haitian people before and after the earthquake. ?????? Rob Boston, Assistant Director of Communications for Americans United for Separation of Church and State,?www.au.org, will speak about Pat Robertson. Many were rightly outraged when Pat Robertson said that an earthquake hit Haiti because the Haitians made a "pact to the devil," to free themselves from slavery. But Pat Robertson is not just some wacko. He is an important conservative leader with millions of followers.
