Jean Dominique pale sou kesyon si Radyo Ayiti ka tounen: li pa vrèman vle relouvri anba yon nouvo okipasyon marin ameriken, e li pa alèz avèk lide ke se yon envazyon ameriken ki ka retabli demokrasi an Ayiti. Li sèvi avèk yon metafò pou relasyon Ayiti-Etazini: lè kay w pran dife, eske w ap mande ponpye a idantite l? Menm si se ponpye sa a li menm ki mete dife nan kay la? Menm si demokrasi retabli, gen anpil zam k ap sikile an Ayiti, anpil makout, FRAPH, ak atache k ap mache libe-libè. Dominique deklare eleksyon 16 desanm 1990 toujou rete youn nan pi gwo eksperyans nan lavi l.
Jean Dominique discusses the possibility of Radio Haiti returning to the air: he is hesitant about reopening under the aegis of a new US marine invasion of Haiti, and uncomfortable with the US-led invasion to restore democracy in Haiti. He draws on a metaphor for US-Haiti relations: when your house is on fire, are you going to ask the firefighter his identity? even if that firefighter set the fire himself three years ago? Though democracy may soon be restored, there are still weapons in circulation, the macoutes, FRAPH and attachés are still free. The December 16, 1990 election still remains, for Dominique, one of the most powerful experiences of his life.
Jean Dominique aborde la question de la réouverture de Radio Haïti. Il n’a pas vraiment envie de recommencer sous une nouvelle occupation américaine, et n’est pas à l’aise avec l’idée que c’est une invasion américaine qui peut rétablir la démocratie en Haïti. Il utilise une métaphore pour les relations entre Haïti et les États-Unis : lorsqu’un incendie frappe ta maison, vas-tu demander leur identité aux pompiers ? Même si ces pompiers ont allumé l’incendie trois ans auparavant ? Même si la démocratie est rétablie, beaucoup d’armes circulent en Haïti, et de nombreux macoutes, membres du FRAPH, attachés, circulent librement. Dominique déclare que les élections du 16 décembre 1990 restent toujours l’expérience la plus marquante de sa vie.
