SocraticGadfly: Should France pay Hait reparations?

Should France pay Hait reparations?

As detailed here, considering that France gouged Haiti for 150 years of "reparations" itself for having the temerity to fight for independence, then confiscate French property, I would say the answer is yes. (Haiti did demand reverse reparations under Aristide, one reason France shed no tears at his overthrow.)
