Aristide was legitimately elected and was deposed by an illegitimate military dictator.
Once restored to his elected office, Aristide did indeed turn on the Haitian Constitution and illegitimately overstayed his term of office, becoming a dictator.
But when the US returned Aristide to his rightful office, he did have a legitimate claim.
Since when is it the US's job to protect the constitutions of other countries?
In case you haven't noticed we are having trouble enough defending our own constitution.
The US stands by its allies.
Indeed. From the likes of enemies of our Constitution like Ron Paul, for one.
It's not, though I've no problem relations with other nations, or with opposition groups.
However if Ron Paul is going to take a benign historical view of Iran based on the injustice of the US overthrowing Mossadegh and installing the Shah, then it's rather disingenuous to criticize Thompson for taking the side of a Marxist thug in the same position as Mossadegh.
We’re lucky Haiti hasn’t turned into a terror state after what we’ve done.
