[history]
Former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide said yesterday the letter he signed before his departure on Sunday was not a "formal resignation" and he plans to return to his country soon.
U.S. officials, however, urged Haiti and the international community to focus on "moving forward." While they noted that only the Haitian people can choose their leaders, officials said Mr. Aristide has proven incapable of good governance.

I think France should take the lead. They created this mess two hundred years ago, and the local bourgeioise speak French. Let them handle it. Indeed, I would prefer they handle it alone.

Who knows. He'll be the guest of honor at his homecoming. With his head prominently foisted atop a stick, paraded around Port-au-Prince like a King.
