Do you see the paradox in your former and latter statements? If you agree
that Aristide is the most popular politician in Haiti today, why do you
insist the numbers are off? What if it were 62%? The point is, he is the
most popular politician and he won the election. For the "nation" it is not
a bitter pill. For the few who covet power and control and are left out
(because they refuse to cooperate) it is a bitter pill indeed.

Are you advocating bloody revolution? Because that is the only way to start
from scratch. If, however, you only want to have more elections, the
outcome will be the same...each and every time.
Acceptance will cool some of that anger. Productivity and effectiveness are
the keywords now. Let's get moving in a positive direction. Even Gore knew
when to throw in the towel, and his situation stunk to heaven. Look to the
next election if you didn't like this one.
