Was Democracy served
No matter what your opinion of Aristide do you think Democracy has been served in Haiti. I think if Democracy were to be served it would be through the ballot box. When we no longer have confidence in our leaders we hold a recall election. Would it be better for us if we had armed coups here in America also?

1. Ummm...we had a Bloodless Coup in 2000
I would say, that like the Totalitarianism of Imperial Amerika, the Third World "Voting" Systems in Amerika are spreading.

And the Bushevik Motto is "Only idiots work at the ballot box. Morally Superior People rig elections, as Strauss inferred."

Actually, Tyranny and Corruption are the only aspects of "trickle-down" tht truly work.

Haiti is just doing what the Busheviks did in 2000. It is more amusing because the Coup, I would guess is Bushevik-backed and supported.

What's the big deal? Tyranny and Totalitarianism are on the rise.

So is "Managed Democracy", if you're a big euphemsism fan.

2. The repugs always hated aristide
They didn't think we should help him before. All we want is for the rich (sort of) white people to control 90% of the wealth just like they do here in this Democracy (not).:puke:
