If you get a chance, be sure to read the book "All the Trouble in The World" by P.J. O'Rourke. It has a whole chapter on Haiti, including a great summary of their political history.
This was one of Clinton's "wins" wasn't it ?
Ah! That Clinton "legacy" just keeps on giving--
Yes, he marched right in there, threw out a pro-western government and installed a Marxist. I guess the Haitians haven't learned to appreciate their fantastic good fortune.

Democracynow.com ^ | 3/1/04
I read about this last night somewhere.. no matter which way it went down the left will find a problem with it somewhere, somehow. They don't care about Haiti, they care about hating Bush. So much so that they have lost all sense of reason (if they had any to begin with).

NBC News is reporting on Early Today that the US plans to "step up" US Marine presence in Haiti because Guy Phillipe declared himself "Chief." The State Department is saying that he is Chief of nothing but a disorganized mob. (or words to that effect)

Washington Times ^ | 3/04/04 | Brian DeBose
Mr. Aristide won a real election back in 91. But he behaved like a thug in office and his own people (Haitians) pushed him out. Then Clinton put him back in power. He stole the foreign aid Clinton gave him. He had a phony ballot-box stuffing election in 2000. And he abused power since then. He was a thug, a dictator.

I am sure that the Congressional Black Caucus supports Aristide so passionately because his situation mirrors theirs so closely:
He's incompetent, and does nothing to improve the lives of his constituency.
He stays in power illegally through sham elections and voter fraud.
He's black.
He's a Marxist.
He's corrupt.
