I agree, it's fair to criticise France's history with Haiti and some of their meddling in African affairs. But it gets a sour taste if it comes from an American, who has never lost a word about them still actively holding colonies and has never even thought about giving back American Samoa, the US Virgin Islands, Guam, Hawaii or the entire continental holdings.
