At any rate, as far as I know, the United States did not support the overthrow Aristide. What happened, is that Aristide resigned when it was clear that the United States would not militarily prop him up. Once the United States moved him (and his friends) to safety, he changed his mind about resigning. Aristide has been joy riding around the world without interference by the United States. It seems to me he could return to Haiti anytime he wants. Of course he might not be very welcome by the citizens. If we had not assisted his departure he would be long dead and on a pile of garbage somewhere. Maybe Maxine Waters could return with him as his queen???? KM

What does Nixon have to do with anything? U.S.-backed terrorists overthrew Arisitide. After he returned to office 3 years later, he did not want to count those 3 years in exile as part of his Presidential term. Do you agree with Arisitide on this position? At any rate, as far as I know, the United States did not support the overthrow Aristide. It has already been established that we did support the 1991 overthrow. How do you feel about that? You seem to believe we reversed our policy, and stopped supporting the same terrorists who overthrew Arisitide in 2004. Why do you suppose we did that? Tom
