Fidel Castro:Bill Clinton can't help Haiti

(AP) — HAVANA - Former Cuban president Fidel Castro predicts that Bill Clinton won't be able to help Haiti as the U.N.'s special envoy to the struggling country. The ailing, 82-year-old Castro says Haiti is a victim of capitalism and needs more than philanthropic efforts from a single institution. Castro said Haiti benefits more from different forms of aid. He singled out Havana's aid programs, such as the long-term assignment of Cuban doctors, other health care workers and literacy campaigns in impoverished Haiti.
