<In the last elections in Haiti in 2000, Aristide won 92% of the popular vote. He remains wildly popular with the poor who inhabit such slums at Cite Soleil. But Aristide was anathema to the tiny elite who live in Petionville and control the nation's wealth. > I believe in the last Iraq elections Husein got 100% of the vote. They must have truly loved the man ......... Be well, Mike

<President Aristide of Haiti was kidnapped and removed to the Central African Republic, which itself had suffered a military coup a year ago and is being led by a thug who is acceptable to the French and to the Bush Administration.> Haiti contrary to your post is now led by Haiti's interim president Boniface Alexandre, the Supreme Court chief, so this is thug you were referring too, is this kind of analysis that you carry out and take great pride? If Supreme Court chief was a thug under Aristide than he had no business to urn that country good riddance if he is good man new elections will find a better alternative. Haiti's interim president Boniface Alexandre, the Supreme Court chief, was officially inaugurated Monday as temporary leader in place of Jean Bertrand Aristide, who resigned and fled into exile on February 29. The ceremony went ahead as Aristide insisted from exile in Central African Republic that he is still president. Alexandre was sworn in as interim president, under the terms of Haiti’s constitution, after Aristide fled an armed uprising against his rule. Monday's ceremony went ahead at the presidential palace, guarded by US troops, in the presence of Yvon Feuillet, president of the National Assembly, senior government officials, the new chief of police, Leon Charles, and opposition representatives.
