10. No!
"The policy makers in Washington apparently believe they can force a "regime change" to their liking without sending in their own troops at this time. This could change, of course, especially if a rival imperialist power like France, which has troops on nearby Caribbean islands, makes a move."

"Washington would probably prefer to let the death squads do their work of weakening the government and the popular resistance, and then come in posing as saviors--while in fact forcing Aristide to defer to figures like Marc Bazin, a former World Bank official whom Washington had picked to win the 1990 election. Bazin was defeated by Aristide in a landslide vote, to the imperialists' dismay."

Although I hope, you're right,
