3. The slideshow of Haiti photos available in the article is horrendous
Unbearable. You will see, however, a lot of photos of people carrying a framed photo of Aristide, pro-Aristide graffitti on walls, people kissing an outdoor photo of Aristide, marching in groups openly supporting the kidnapped leader, etc., etc.

Interesting, considering he had been taken away, and there were still many heavily armed right-wing monsters. You'd have to say the people protesting the kidnapping of their ELECTED leader were courageous, to say the least.

From the article:
"The suggestion that President Aristide may have been forced out of office, if true, will have serious consequences and ramifications for the respect of the rule of law and democracy the world over," South African Foreign Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said in a statement.

The the 15-nation Caribbean Community said Wednesday that the circumstances of his departure were suspicious and should be investigated by an independent international investigation.

State Department spokesman Richard Boucher brushed aside criticism. "It's time to look forward. It's time to focus on what we can all do for the people of Haiti."

Hell of a great Bush disciple.

I Am Spartacus: It's been beyond interesting learning you are so well aware of the country of Haiti. This time must be so frustrating for you, it would seem.

Thanks for posting your observations for the rest of us.
