20. I've listened to both sides
Edited on Thu Feb-26-04 10:08 AM by Chicago Democrat
and made up my own mind. As you have obviously made up yours.

I don't think Aristide is benevolent or good. Just an elected president in a "Democracy" only a few miles from our coast. I also think the Bush administration has cut him off for ideological reasons. Bush through the CIA via the Dominican army helped create this fake rebellion by giving heavy weapons to well known criminals and paramilitaries. These paramilitaries are working for the group of 184, who represent the 184 families that own everything in Haiti.

Please explain to me why these 184 families and the FRAPH rebels have the right to kill Aristide and overthrough his government. If you disagree with any of the specific facts I've raised, lets talk about them specifically.

You say Aristide is a killer too. In the US we put impeach bad Presidents and put them on trial, like Clinton remember. No killing involved! We hold elections in Democracies to throw bad presidents out of office. Why should Haiti be held to any less of a standard?
