5. As usual the Socialists miss the point
You really can't speak of a "right-wing" or a "left-wing" in a country with no functioning economy. Aristide's running a shoe-string cult of personality and "his people" (that's what he considers them to be) are suffering. Despite Aristide's promises, Haiti is no democracy, and Aristide is no liberal.

So who cares if one criminal gang replaces the present? The one thing the US could do - intervene to impose order and pave the way for elections and reform - the current Administration is unwilling to do. And nobody else in the world can do it.
