Note that Haiti has been (for about two hundred years) adverse to accepting the dictates of the colonial powers since it kicked the French out in Jefferson's time. One of the reasons *why* the Americans were so eager to get the Louisiana purchase was to prevent what happened in Haiti (courtesy of the French) from getting to the mainland. Oh, what was that? The slave rebellions that wrested the island (or a big part of it) away from the French. At this time, the Americans who held slaves might have put a big clamp down on "freedoms" that may have been aimed at relaxing the relationship between the two classes.

I'm sure Cuba and others are even more aware of the implications and benefits of spurning imperialists. Fight back with AIDS and drugs and who knows what else ... oh, yeah, $Billions down the drain.
