#3443: Aristide and violence: Grey replies to Chamberlain

<< It's like the US trying to dress up the 1994 invasion (which of course had 
the
 freely-given approval of Aristide) as an "international" force, which it
 was in theory but not in practice.  >>

The i-n-t-e-r-v-e-n-t-i-o-n by the United Nations Multi-National forces was 
not an invasion in any sense of the word.  I have family members who survived 
World War II in Europe, and believe me what happened in Haiti was NOTHING 
like the Nazi "blitzkreig" invasion.  The only people who saw the 
Multi-National forces intervention as an "invasion" were the people who fell 
from power - the murderous Haitian Army, FRAPH, old-time Macoutes, attaches, 
etc.

Secondly, the Multi-National Force was precisely that - multi-national.  I 
met Togolais and Bangladeshis and Italians and Nigerians, ALL part of the 
Multi-National Forces.  

Peace and love,
