I am talking about this:

U.S Department of State

Travel Warning
United States Department of State
Bureau of Consular Affairs
Washington, DC 20520

The State Department warns U.S. citizens of the risks of travel to Haiti and recommends deferring non-essential travel until further notice. This Travel Warning replaces the Travel Warning dated April 30, 2008, and is being issued to remind American citizens of the destructive impact of a series of hurricanes in 2008, to provide updated information on country conditions, and to alert Americans to ongoing security concerns. Travelers are strongly advised to thoroughly consider the risks before traveling to Haiti and to take adequate precautions to ensure their safety if traveling to Haiti.

Some websites on social life, homes, regular photos instead of the usual photos we see or accustomed to HAiti.
Haiti has it's own identity filled with talented artiists, musiciains, painters etc. Many haitians speak spanish and many do listen to music from Dominican music and spanish music overall.

My dad work in the US for 30 years and retired back to haiti with my mom since 1997. he is happy. it all depends on your situation. Most people that explore Haiti should explore with open mind whether it is visiting Jacmel for artists , painters small sleepy town or nice cool breeze up the hills in Petionville or other off the beaten path places. other carribean countries have high crime rate but they have many all inclusive tourist places and has less noise in the media but crime is low and foreigners have business here and tourists etc..
