Fuck Haiti. Nothing good has ever come out of Haiti. I'd be good with France giving Haiti a mushroom cloud as "reparations". The sooner Haiti is entirely eliminated from the map, the sooner the world will be a better place.
I'd be ok with putting all of the Haitians on a raft flotilla, sending it out into the Caribbean, and then sinking the rafts... and giving that half of the island to Dominica.
In case I'm being too subtle, I have no use for Haiti or Haitians at all.
